Enormous park with quintessential African savannah views. We saw all of the big 5 here. Lions are everywhere!

There’s a reason this is known as the most popular park. It’s amazing. The Savannah is beautiful and you can see for miles. The wildlife is everywhere and it’s a very peaceful place.

We didn't see Rhino here (they are very rare) but we saw everything else including the big 5 and a family of Cheetahs! Beautiful green scenery.

One of the best reserves/parks in Kenya in my opinion. Many animals to see and experience here. A MUST for safari.

The classic site - though without the great migratory herds of Wilderbeest and Zebra, it didn't fail to deliver. Leopard and cub feeding up a tree, a large pride of Lions on a kill. Wow

Fantastic experience with Daylight Adventure

It’s my first time to visit Masai Mara in Kenya. I joined a private tour of Daylight Adventure. Thanks for the hospitality of their staff. They came to my hotel to share the gifts and introduce the itinerary and logistics arrangement before the trip. And after that, I spent a few hours travelling from Nairobi to Masai Mara and started the first game drive around 4pm. As it’s a private tour, I can be taking photos with my preference time and locations. It’s wonderful choice! At the second day, we travelled in Masai Mara again. What different to the first day is I can see leopard, lions, elephant, giraffes, etc more closely. I was also impressed to see the wild hippo at the lake Naivasha. It’s a very excited experience! In short, thanks for the great arrangement of Daylight Adventure.

After all this park was made out to be we were fairly disapointed. We saw a good variety of wildlive but only small isolated groups. Mush of the terrain was burnt and void ao anything. This was not due to natural bush fires but controlled burning and it completely ruined any feeling of bush atmosphere.

Fantastic day and saw a lot of wildlife in a bit different habitat than Amboseli
The walk along side Mara River under the burning African sun, then you can realy feal the harsh conditions for the African animals

The largest park we have visited. We were here for 3 days and had a lodge close to the park, which was very pleasant and easy to do. The guides have contact with each other and therefore know where the predators are and can drive there. Seen many birds. Definitely worth going.
