Daily Tour 3 day
Maasai Mara, Kenya Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Africa

This safari takes you deep into the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Right by an ox-bow bend on the mighty Mara River, lies the Mara Eden Camp, a mid-range camp that is perfectly located in the reserve close to the wildebeest migration. It is also the perfect place to spend your night as you explore the reserve as lots of wildlife can be spotted quite close to the park thus limiting the amount of time taken on game drives in search of wildlife.

The camp has only 10 tents thus providing an intimate experience with camp staff attending to your every need in the shortest time possible. The camp is also located on the wildebeest migration corridor thus you have a great opportunity to spot the wildebeest migration while staying there from July – September every year. Note there is wildlife throughout the year in the Mara thus a visit to this game reserve can be done anytime from January to December. A 4×4 Land Cruiser is the preferred vehicle to venture into this wildlands.
