great diversity, beautiful scenery, a large variety of wildlife
Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya- Africa. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland.
The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles and over 400 bird species recorded on the reserve.
​
Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

The BIG Five
The Big Five - lion, leopard, African elephant, rhino, and the Cape buffalo – are all found in the Masai Mara ecosystem. What is long gone however is the association of this term with its hunting origins, where hunters gave these magnificent animals this collective nickname based not just on their difficulty to bring down, but on the danger involved in doing so.
Today, seeing the Big Five is thankfully a peaceful, joyous experience that celebrates the abundance of Kenya’s wildlife and our guides will help you fulfill a life-long desire to see them in the wild.

If you want to meet Kenya's most extraordinary animals, then you have to visit Losokwan Camp.
For example, you will find the largest lions in the Masai Mara. Its enormous size, majestic way of walking, and bravery make the predator very fascinating to watch.
The Great Migration
The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet, the greatest show on earth playing out across the vast plains and rolling hills of the Serengeti and Masai Mara. Every year, led by the life-giving rains that feed the lush savannahs, 1.5 million wildebeest make a circular journey, rivers of black pouring across the land.
Some 400,000 zebra and 200,000 gazelle accompany them, making a total of over two million migrating animals thundering as one. During their migration, predators like the lion, cheetah, leopard, and hyena exploit the relatively easier prey and the consequent abundance of food.
Migration near the camp
At Losokwan Camp we are honored to be in the heart of the migration and, come July to October, we get a front-row seat of this incredible natural event.
Feel the power of nature as you step into the heart of the action, watching as thousands of ungulates snort and stomp their way across the savannahs.
