The Masai Mara is the undisputed big cat capital of Africa, and this safari is designed for those who want to get close — really close — to lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
Your guide is both a certified safari guide and professional wildlife photographer with intimate knowledge of every big cat territory in the conservancy. Early morning drives target cheetah hunts, golden-hour lion activity, and the elusive leopard at her favourite tree.
