Lions, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, various antelopes, and elephants are all readily seen. Perhaps the most stunning occurrence in the natural world occurs in the Mara.

DAY 04: Game drives in Masai Mara National Park

You’ll go on morning and afternoon game drives in this amazing park today. The annual wildebeest migration, which occurs in the Masai Mara between July and October, is what makes the area famous.

More than a million wildebeests and thousands of other herbivores move from Serengeti National Park to the Mara during this period in quest of better living conditions. They are pursued by hundreds of lions and hyenas, who prey on the elderly and frail. Only the Masai Mara is home to the fabled black mane lion. These vast meadows are ideal for cheetah hunting.

Your age, interest, and level of fitness determine your gorilla family allotment. Before you set out on your forest hike, please attempt to let your guide know what interests you so he may try to find you a group that suits you.
