Top Activities To Do In Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve is part of the Great Mara–Serengeti Ecosystem, which, together with Serengeti National Park, forms one of the world's most diverse, incredible, and spectacular ecosystems.
Masai Mara National Reserve is home to over 95 mammal species, including the Big Five – lions, leopards, cape buffaloes, rhinos, elephants, and over 570 recorded bird species. The reserve is also a great site to see the Great Wildebeest Migration, the world's largest land mammal migration. Masai Mara National Reserve is an excellent African safari destination offering several activities that will make your safari a memorable one, and these include;
1. Morning, Afternoon and Night Game Drives
The game drive is usually done in three sessions. That is Morning, which starts at 6:30 am to 10:30 am. This is the best time to catch up with the African sunrise and a rewarding time to see animals actively looking for food or hunting in an open savannah grassland, as well as see cats and leopards going back from their hid outs. You can also be able to see a wide range of animals quench their thirsty near river banks, evening game drive starts at 4 pm till 6:30 pm this is the final time to catch them coming out from their hideouts, resting under the tree shades as they graze in groups. Night game drive which starts at 6 pm till 7:30 pm this is the final time to see nocturnal animals in the park, enjoy cheetahs, cats as they hunt their fellow animals.
The reserve's ecosystem supports many animal species, including the most famous big cats: lions, Leopards, Elephants, Buffaloes, and Black-and-White Rhinos. Other species include Gazelles, Giraffes, Oribis, hartebeests, zebras, hippos, and crocodiles. Note that an armed guide strictly conducts all sessions. Never go to the park without an escort, and we recommend that our RoamRoar Kenya Safaris travelers always pack their clear cameras to film this incredible experience in a lifetime.

2. Great Migration Wildebeest Viewing
From July through October, the migration arrives in the plains of Masai Mara National Reserve. It then crosses to Masai Mara with the Mara River Crossing, the deadliest event of the whole migration. The herd faces Nile crocodiles, and the high-speed waters of the river wash away some. Mara River Crossing is not an event for the faint-hearted.

3. Hot Air Balloon Safari

4. Horseback Safaris
It gives you an open way of exploring the best of the landscape, passing through other animals with an animal no off truck, only enjoying the fresh breeze of nature. During the migration, the experience is beyond as a well-trained game ranger escorts you. One enjoys more as you go close and close to the animals, even touching their backs.

5. Bird Watching

6. Sundowners and Bush breakfast

7. Visit The Maasai People
