Maasai Mara n.reserve.

Optional Early Morning balloon safari ride (US$450.00 per person) across the Maasai Mara plain. Enjoy breakfast at the camp and a full day spent in the reserve with packed lunch. Continue on in search of its popular residents like the well-known predators, particularly the superb black maned male lions and their opponents like the Zebra, Wildebeest, Giraffe and Hippo. Take full advantage of what the Mara has to offer like an optional Cultural visit to the local Maasai villages which can be arranged at an extra cost. The Maasai tribe is among the few tribes in Africa whose culture has lasted for years without changes and the locals are jointly living together and partially contribute to the protection of wildlife and defined cultural tours as well.

Birding can also be done throughout the year with the reserve having a record of over 570 species of birds, with more than 50 bird species of prey which include: Eagles, vultures, storks and many others.

The Mara is one of the most famous ecosystems in the world and with reason, this huge expansion is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, difficult to believe, over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place.

Have a visit to the Mara River. In dramatic fashion, catch thousands of the great wildebeest, zebras, antelopes and elands, followed by gazelles as they cross over returning to their breeding grounds from Serengeti-Tanzania to Maasai Mara-Kenya between the months of July and October. Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
