Traverse the conservancy in open game vehicles and spot the myriad of species that live in the area. Watch for baby rhinos hiding beneath their mother’s belly. Look for lions being chased by angry buffalo and hiding up a tree to try to escape after a failed attempted hunt.
Encounter animals from a different perspective while on a guided walk in the company of an expert guide. This is also a great opportunity to see some of the 350 species of birds, which occur in the region.

Following the rains, between July and October over 1 million Wildebeest can pass through the Mara grazing on the new grass. Rain, as we know, is very unpredictable, and as the migration follows the rains, this too can be unpredictable. The Mara with its resident herds and large predator populations is a year round safari destination, it always promises an exceptional wildlife experience.
