Top Five
Things to do
1 Spot the big five
The Masai Mara offers the best game and bird viewing, not just in Kenya but anywhere in the world. Here you can spot leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo.
2 See the wildebeest migration
The annual wildebeest migration is one of the most spectacular natural events in Africa. In late May / early June, millions of wildebeest cross over the Mara River from the Serengeti plains into the Masai Mara.

3 Take a balloon safari
See the herds from an amazing vantage point as you float above the plains.
4 Relax in the bush
Stay in a luxury tented lodge right in the middle of the African bush. This is one of the most relaxing wonderful experiences.
5 Have a meaty feast
Back in Nairobi, head to Carnivores — famous for its huge fire pit and giant skewers of every kind of meat carved directly onto your plate.
