To visit Naboisho in person, you can stay at one of the amazing lodges located in the heart of the Conservancy. Two known for their wildlife sightings include:
Porini Mara offers safaris for the true wildlife enthusiast who wishes to get close to nature and enjoy an undisturbed personal adventure with a knowledgeable and qualified safari guide. Guided walks with Maasai warriors allow you to become engrossed in the African wilderness and track the footprints of the big cats and their prey. Night game drives in safari jeeps provide an opportunity to spot the nocturnal civet cat and caracal.
And for the ultimate Migration Safari don’t forget to visit Basecamp Explorer. From mid-June to late November more than 1.5 million migrating wildebeests, zebras and antelopes scatter the vast plains of the Masai Mara, transforming the savannah into a place of dramatic action and a constant struggle for survival. The Migration Season is a time of prosperity for the predators of the Mara, who thrive on the vast amounts of available prey.
