Game viewing

Wild animals roaming the Kenyan plains include wildebeest, elephants, zebra, lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffe, impala and gazelles, but that's just for starters.

On a typical game drive at Mahali Mzuri you'll spot many of the animals listed above as well as buffalos, topi (antelope native to this area only), hippopotamus, warthogs and hyenas plus an abundant and diverse range of bird life. Our highly experienced and trained team of Field Guides will guide your twice daily (morning and afternoon) game drives navigating the Motorogi and Olare Orok Conservancies in open vehicles.

A number of lion pride territories meet in the Motorogi Conservancy which can make for some interesting encounters as the different groups battle for dominance. The area is also home to roughly 150,000 Loita wildebeest who do not make the annual migration south and seem content to 'loiter' all year round!

Of course one of the biggest draws to the area is the annual 'Great Migration', which sees up to one million wildebeest plus hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelles and other game undertake a journey of roughly 1,600km through Tanzania and Kenya.
