Big Five Wildlife and the Great Wildebeest Migration in Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of Kenya’s most famous wildlife safari destinations, known for excellent game viewing, abundant predators and the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration. During your 3 Days 2 Nights Maasai Mara safari from Eldoret, you may see the Big Five together with many other species across the open savannah.

The Big Five of Maasai Mara

The Big Five traditionally refers to the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros. Sightings are not guaranteed because wildlife moves freely in its natural habitat, but guided game drives offer excellent opportunities to search for these iconic African animals.
