The Best Kenya Safaris Destinations
Luxury Safaris in Kenya Destination #1 - Masai Mara National Reserve
What makes the Mara such an unbeatable spot for luxury safaris in Kenya? There’s the fact that it’s home to over 90 different mammal species, over 450 bird species and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. The Masai Mara National reserve is also home to thousands of reptiles, including the leopard tortoise, gecko, crocodiles, and snakes. There’s also the fact that the Masai Mara scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, from its sun-burned, sometimes lush, grasslands to its scattered acacias and towering escarpments.
Things to do during Kenya Safari Tours in Masai Mara
If the wildlife and scenery aren’t enough to draw you in on a Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari, how about a scenic morning, afternoon, or evening game drive around the park? Or a jaw-dropping Masai Mara hot-air balloon safari at sunrise? Cap that off with a sundowner and bush dinner, and you’ll understand why Maasai Mara is the best Kenya safaris destination.
The Maasai Mara is also the best Kenya safari destination for walking safaris, night game drives, and big 5 safaris. During game drives in Masai Mara, expect to see rhino, buffalo, leopard, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and other classic safari animals.
