Mara Migration and Diani Beach

WILDLIFE

Animals to Expect

Every safari is different, but these are some of the wildlife you may encounter along the way.

Often seen

Lion

The Maasai Mara is renowned for its lion population. Lions are frequently encountered on game drives, particularly around open grasslands and areas with abundant prey.

Often seen

African Elephant

Elephants can be found throughout the Mara ecosystem, often moving in family groups across the grasslands and woodland areas.

Often seen

Spotted Hyena

Highly social and intelligent predators, hyenas are commonly encountered around the Mara, particularly in the early morning and evening.

Often seen

African Buffalo

Large herds of buffalo are a familiar sight across the Mara's grasslands and near water sources.

Often seen

Wildebeest

The Mara is famous for the annual wildebeest migration, when enormous herds move through the ecosystem. Outside migration periods, resident wildebeest can still be seen.

Often seen

Zebra

Plains zebra are widespread across the Mara and are commonly seen grazing alongside wildebeest and other herbivores.
