Mara River - The Masai Mara Reserve, located in the Great Rift Valley and primarily consisting of open grassland, is Kenya’s most popular tourist destination.

The annual wildebeest migration, involving over 1.5 million animals from July to November, is a spectacular event and a highlight of the reserve. Visitors are almost guaranteed to see the Big Five. The wildebeest migration, a phenomenal event unique to the Maasai Mara, is considered the seventh wonder of the world.

Perfect Wilderness African Safari - Or as we call it...ADVENTURE! - Sometimes we take vacations and sometimes we take adventures. This was an adventure! What an amazing trip. Seeing all of the animals in their natural setting was truly special. The tour guides took us to all of the right spots. We were able to see the "Big 5" amongst many, many other animals and birds. And the views were equally amazing. Such a beautiful place. If this isn't on your bucket list, then it definitely should be. Perfect Wilderness did a great job and helped us check off one of our bucket list items. Thanks!

Dream come true experience - Had a wonderful time in Kenya and Tanzania thanks to perfect wilderness. The safari is how I imagined but better. Our guide was really knowledgeable and trust worthy, while flexible enough to meet our individual style. Our driver guide in Kenya David (IG @d_njonjo) is an amazing photographer. He gave me great advice about wild animal photographing. I shot many incredible photos even as a beginner. We went with the luxury lodge option. Everything was great but don’t expect to have 5-star hotel amenities in the middle of a national park. That’s just not realistic. The staff at the tented lodges were so friendly and helpful.
