Maasai Mara Classic Safari
3 Days | 2 NightsMaasai MaraJuly – October for the migration; year-round for big cats
Overview
Kenya's flagship reserve, done properly. You spend two full nights inside the Mara ecosystem rather than commuting from the gate, which means you are out on the plains for the golden hour at both ends of the day — when the cats actually hunt. Between July and October the migration herds are in, and the Mara and Talek river crossings are within reach.
Trip Highlights
- Full-day game drive across the Mara plains
- Big Five territory — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino
- Optional sunrise balloon safari over the reserve
- Optional visit to a Maasai homestead
- Great Migration river crossings (July – October)
