MASAI MARA WILDLIFE

The Masai Mara needs little introduction as one of the world’s finest wildlife theatres. Fed by two large rivers, the Talek and the Mara this region is not just the stage for the most concentrated wildebeest migration action but also home to some of the greatest volumes of plains game and predators in the continent. Every year it hosts what is now recognised as the greatest show on earth, 'the migration' which takes place between July and October. Over a million wildebeest and two hundred thousand zebra pass through on their endless journey, following the rains and in search of grass. Here you are able to witness the migrations spectacular river crossings and the frenzy of predator activity.

The unique positioning of the private homes and the flexibility of the mobile camp (due to open in 2011) allows our guests to access both east and west of this extraordinary safari destination. This means that outside of migration season, which is often the best, you are unhindered by game reserve rules preventing movement at certain times. You will be unfettered by lack of experience for we have carefully positioned the houses in locations that allow for excellent night and day viewing learned over many generations.

While many of the visitors visit this region to experience the well known animals, our guides are often able to unlock the world of some of the more rare species such as the caracal, wild dog and rhino. Back at your private homes three decades of careful conservation in our sections of the Mara has meant that many of the ‘most wanted’ are regular visitors to our very own lawn for our guests to enjoy.
