With AK African Tours and Safaris, experience the breathtaking home of the Great Migration, the planet’s most abundant display of flowing wildlife – over two million animals on
their yearly trek of survival. No other safari brings you closer to this explosion of primal nature in such stunning numbers.
But this onslaught of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle is just one aspect of the bounty in the Mara.
This is also a land of predators – prides of lions, cheetahs, leopards, jackals, hyenas, and other
carnivores roam this ancient land, hunting for prey in their natural habitat.

Wildlife of the Masai Mara National Reserve
The Big Five and More
The Masai Mara National Reserve is renowned for its abundance of wildlife, drawing safari lovers from around the globe. Guests with AK African Tours and Safaris have the chance to spot Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino – in their natural habitat.
Beyond the Big Five, the reserve is home to over 95 mammal species, including giraffes, zebras, topis, elands, and foxes, as well as diverse birdlife like kingfishers, guinea fowl, and raptors.
The Great Migration
Every year from July to October, over two million animals make their way across the Mara River
from the Serengeti, creating the largest movement of wildlife on the planet. AK African Tours
and Safaris ensures you witness this awe-inspiring spectacle up close, as wildebeest, zebras,
and gazelles pour into the Mara’s golden grasslands. Alongside this migration, predators like
Nile crocodiles, lions, and cheetahs lie in wait, creating unforgettable moments of nature’s raw
drama.
The Maasai: Guardians of the Mara
