Birding
Bird watching safari in the Maasai Mara
Look up: the greater Mara hosts hundreds of bird species. Specialised drives and gentle walks from Oltukai reward guests who want colour, raptors, and quiet luxury beyond the Big Five frame.
- 400+ species across the greater Mara ecosystem
- Excellent green-season birding and soft light
- Pairs beautifully with photography-focused stays
Signature Mara birds
Lilac-breasted rollers flash beside the track, secretary birds stride through grass, and martial eagles ride thermals. Waterbirds and kingfishers reward patient waits near pools after rains.
Best seasons for birding
Birding is rewarding year-round. Green season often adds migrants, dramatic skies, and fewer vehicles, ideal for unhurried bird watching from Oltukai.
