What animals will I definitely see?

The Maasai Mara is home to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos. Sightings vary by season and location, but the reserve's high concentration makes encounters likely. Wildebeest appear during migration seasons (July–October and December–March).

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes. The 3-day format and mix of game drives with a walking excursion at Crescent Island work well for families. Confirm age requirements and seat arrangements for children with the operator.

What's included in the price?

The tour includes breakfast at Sarova Stanley in Nairobi, game drives in Maasai Mara, lunch at Lake Naivasha, and a guided excursion on Crescent Island. Accommodation, transport from your hotel, and entry fees should be clarified with the operator.

How many people travel in the group?

This is a group joining tour, meaning you'll share a vehicle with other travellers. Typical group sizes range from 4–12 people, but confirm the exact number when booking.

Will we encounter the wildebeest migration?

Wildebeest migrate through the Mara July–October and again December–March. Outside these windows, other wildlife is abundant but the migration won't be present. Book during your preferred season.

Essentials include sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), binoculars, camera, layers for cool mornings, sturdy hiking shoes for walks, and any personal medications. Check weather conditions closer to your travel date.

our guide Beatriz had so many stories and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight, and perfect for first-timers, and out for a solid 6 hours.
