This is the place to see large prides of black-manned lions, bellowing elephants, grumpy buffalo and a pick ‘n’ mix box of antelope and gazelles. And that’s before we even touch on the smaller creatures and huge array of birds. But, above and beyond all else, the Mara is renowned for the spectacular wildebeest migration. Game drive en-route to your camp and arrive in time for lunch and check in at Ashnil Mara camp. Later, have an evening game drive as you get to witness the dramatic hunt and the big five. Dinner and overnight at the camp.
