Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one’s vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
The Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Additional Information

The road trip from Nairobi to the Masai Mara presents Kenya’s premier and most exceptional wildlife refuge, where the smooth undulating grasslands ensure that animals are always visible.

The weather condition is mild, seldom overly hot, and receives evenly distributed rain throughout the year. The phenomenal wildebeest migration between July and October is unmatched. The animals are not just confined within the Reserve’s limits, as an even larger region expands outside the game reserve.

Years of intimate interaction with wildlife has culminated in a quasi symbiotic bond where both the wildlife and the Masai tribe coexist peacefully.

The initial view of this Game Park is mesmerizing. No other place on earth can compete with this wildlife wonder. The blend of a mild climate, stunning scenery, and immense wildlife population makes the Masai Mara National Reserve the preferred inland destination in Kenya.

The best family travel experience! - My family vacation will be forever memorable because of Starvel Safaris! Let me break it down for you—Esther and the Starvel Safaris crew are the real deal. Esther's expertise and passion for wildlife and travel planning shone through as she patiently guided me through the various safari options. This exclusive 3-day package is the best decision you can ever make. Our tour guide, Daniel was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to spot the entire Big Five, and the joy on my children's faces as they saw these majestic creatures up close for the first time was priceless. Our accommodation exceeded our expectations. The family tent concept was brilliant, providing a cozy, safe space for the family! I can't recommend Starvel Safaris enough for all your travel needs. Thank you, Starvel Safaris, for an unforgettable journey.
