The Maasai Mara is Kenya's greatest wildlife arena: endless rolling savanna, riverine forest and escarpment slopes where the Big Five roam freely and the great wildebeest migration crosses the Mara River every August and September. This three-day safari packs the highlights into dawn and dusk game drives, when the light is soft and the cats are active, with a full day in the reserve to find the Mara River crossings and the big prides. The founder plans the drives, the camp and everything between, so all you do is look.
