A Legendary Safari Awakens with Every Sunrise

Located in southwestern Kenya, bordering Tanzania’s Serengeti, the Maasai Mara National Park is pure African safari gold. The Mara is famous for dramatic wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, and one of Earth’s greatest migrations.

Here, every sunrise promises scenes of predator prey tension, while every sunset glows with untold natural beauty. It’s not just a game park it’s a stage where Africa reveals her soul. At Jackal Wild Adventures, we tailor unforgettable adventures that connect travelers deeply to the land, wildlife, and heritage of the Mara.

The Great Migration: Nature’s Most Majestic Show

Each year, over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the plains. They arrive from the Serengeti, crossing into the Maasai Mara National Park in search of fresh grazing. This spectacle, usually from July to October, is the highlight of many Safaris and East Africa tours.

The river crossings are dramatic crocodiles lurk, lions stalk, and chaos explodes as thousands push forward.

With Jackal Wild Adventures, you witness it from the best vantage points, guided by seasoned wildlife experts.

You don’t just observe you feel the Mara’s heartbeat.

 

Game Drives: The Hunt for Africa’s Big Five and Beyond

The Mara is home to all members of Africa’s Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino. Daily Game Drives Safaris offer front row seats to thrilling animal behaviors in their natural terrain.

Expect to spot cheetahs sprinting, elephants herding, and hyenas lurking with strategic patience. Leopards lounge in acacia trees, while vultures circle awaiting scavenging opportunities.
