The terrain of the reserve is primarily grassland and riverine forest with clumps of distinctive acacia trees.The Masai Mara ecosystem holds one of the highest lion densities in the world and this is where over two million wildebeest, zebra and Thompson gazelle migrate annually.

Morning and afternoon game drives in the conservancy
You may hear of the Big Five before going on Safari, from an old book, or from a nature documentary but your real safari happens here. Today, they are five of the animals which people most want to see while on Safari. One hundred years ago, amid pith helmets, mosquito boots, and 'darkest Africa', the Big Five were the most sought after animals to hunt. They were the fiercest, the most dangerous animals; the animals that would hunt the hunter.
