Introduction.
We will visit the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve during the annual Wildebeests / Zebras migration at its best just after the rains and when the plains are full of game. The Mara plains are full of red clad Masai’s people dotted across and vast herds of antelopes, zebra and prides of lions share their home with hundreds of bird’s species.

Masai Mara Game Reserve.
The Masai Mara Game Reserve is probably the most famous in all of Africa. It is a rising grassland, watered by the Mara River and covering an area of 1, 510 sq kms. The Mara region has been inhabited by humans at least 2,000 years, the last 200 years by the Maasai. The area is part of what is now referred to as the Mara – Serengeti ecosystem, being joined to the huge Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. In the local Maa language, Mara means ‘spotted’, a reference to the patches of bush and trees that dot the plains.
The Masai Mara holds some of the largest concentration of animals in the world, especially between July and December when huge herds of the White-bearded Wildebeest and the Burchell’s Zebras, pursued by their attendant predators, migrate into the reserve from the adjacent Serengeti.

This is one of the Earth’s great wildlife spectacle and, whilst nothing is certain in the world of wildlife watching, during the time of the safari we hope to have timed the migration right to witness the breathtaking sight of the Mara grasslands filled as far as the eye can see with huge herds of Wildebeest and Zebra.

Topi, Coke’s Hartebeest, Impala, Eland, Thompson’s gazelle, Bohor Reedbuck, Dik diks, Masai Giraffe, Elephant and Buffalo feed amongst them stalked by Lion’s, Cheetah and Leopard, along with a variety of other predators and scavengers such as Bat-eared Fox, Spotted Hyena and Black-backed Jackals.

The birdlife is equally diverse, although often takes second place to the spectacle of the mammals. Huge Ground Hornbills and elegant Secretary birds stride across the grasslands along with the Kori Bustard. Lone  bushes and dead trees provide lookout perches for the beautiful Lillac-breasted Roller and a variety of bee-eaters including the beautiful Carmine Bee – eater, whilst among them Martial Eagles, Lappet-faced, African White-backed, Hooded and Ruppell’s Vultures, the latter four always on the look out for a recent kill.

Our days in the Mara will start with early morning wake up call and a cup of tea or coffee as you like it, before we head out onto the plains shortly after dawn. After enjoying the wildebeests / zebras migration we will return to the camp just before it gets dark. There are additional activities on offer for those who wish, the most popular being a hot air balloon ride, a Maasai village visit, both a truly magical African experience.

During this time, Mara will be at its best time of the year to see the spectacle, with the plains having been so recently watered by the ‘long rains’.

Lunch, dinner and overnight at Mara Mobile / Fly Camp.
