Day 5
An early morning drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve, it holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators.

Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

I strongly recommend the Jorado Safari. Teresa the person who organized our itinerary was very polite, quick response. Our guide Felix was the best and made our trip to Kenya. I did a lot of search before booking the Safari and Jorado had the best price. My boyfriend and I did Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. We enjoyed each minute of our experiencia. My trip of my life Thank you so much Jorado
Angélica Alves · Canada
Our 7-day Kenyan Midrange Safari with Jorado Safaris was an incredible journey! Raggen was extremely attentive during the planning process, ensuring every detail matched our preferences. John, our guide, was fantastic—his knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes was unmatched. We explored iconic parks like Amboseli and Maasai Mara, encountering majestic elephants, cheetahs, and even a rare leopard. The midrange accommodations were comfortable and well-situated, offering breathtaking views and delicious meals. Every moment of this trip felt magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
