Apart from protecting some of Kenya's largest populations of black and white rhinos, Ol Pejeta shelters the world's last 2 Northern white rhinos. There's also a sanctuary for rescued chimps. The free-roaming wildlife includes the Big Five. Commonly seen mammals include lion, cheetah, hyena, elephant, giraffe, buffalo and zebra.

The annual wildebeest migration, which takes place between July and October, is its major highlight. However, even when it is not the migration season, the Masai Mara never fails to impress. You can still experience the majestically sweeping savannah grasslands, breathtaking topography, the Big Five, enchanted sunrises and sunsets, the lovely Maa culture, and much more. The Mara presents a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If your visit falls during the migration season, you will follow the migration as your guide tries to encounter all of the Big Five. You will watch in awe and anticipation as hundreds of wildebeest cross the crocodile-infested river. The ensuing herds will step over hundreds, perhaps even thousands of bodies that have drowned in the water. Those who are fortunate enough to cross the river will discover the predators on the other side who are ready to make a meal of them. You will be dumbfounded after such a moving encounter.

You will enjoy a picnic lunch in a beautiful area of the park. Further game drives will be taken before you head back to the camp for dinner and overnight.
