Dream of Africa and chances are you dream of Maasai Mara. It is the home to Africa’s Big Five
species, as well as an abundance of other wildlife, including wildebeest, cheetah, hyena, giraffe
and many more. It borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
Often described as nature’s greatest spectacles, the great migration is one of Africa’s dramatic
stories. This occurs every year between July and October where more than 1.5 million
wildebeests, zebras, gazelles and elands move mysteriously from the Serengeti in Tanzania to
Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of grass and water. This movement offers nature lovers the
opportunity to view as predators such as the Lion, Hyenas, Crocodiles and Cheetahs prey on the
wildebeests. This mass movement is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Mara can be accessed through Sekenani, Ololomutiek, Talek and Musiara Gates. By road
from Nairobi it’s about five hours and by air one can take a scheduled flight from Wilson airport
and Jomo Kenyatta international airport in Nairobi which is about 45 minutes to either
Keekorok, Olkiombo or Musiara airstrips.
Activities include: Game viewing, camping, night game drives, bush dinner, lunch and breakfast,
ballooning and visits to Maasai cultural villages.
