In addition hippo, giraffe, rhino, elephant and leopard are frequently seen. But the Mara is renowned for its magnificent black-manned lions with their large prides that spend most of the day sleeping in the shade of the acacia trees. The Mara is also the scene of the spectacular migration of wild beast that comes through the Mara in their 1500km round annual trek from southern plains in the Serengeti. There can be optional activities but at an extra cost like a visit to a Maasai Manyatta. All meals and overnight will be at your lodge.
