If you’d like to see a lion in action or would like to witness the Great Migration, the Masai Mara National Reserve should be on top of your list. Famous all over the world, this reserve beckons you to its open rolling grasslands, where an astonishing amount of wildlife roams. It’s backed by the magnificent Esoit Oloololo (Siria) Escarpment and watered by the Mara River.

Large prides of lions are found all over the place, and usually you’ll catch them hunting. Cheetahs and leopards also wander around here, and sightings of them are quite frequent. There’s also no shortage of elephants, hippos, buffalos and zebras.
