However, the Masai Mara has beds for over 1,500 tourists, plus campsites for 400 more. The ranch is permanent home to many prides of lions, and others pass through while traveling between Amboseli National Park and Tsavo West National Park. Zebras and giraffes are very common. We have herds of elephants and many hartebeests, wildebeests and Grant's and Thompson's gazelles. Impalas and Cape Buffaloes are frequently seen as well.
Hippos are easy to find, and baboons are quite common.
We have Leopards and black rhinos on the ranch, but they can be harder to spot. Although seldom seen, the endangered African wild dog and the bush pigs of the forest are residents of the ranch. Other common animals include dik dik, duiker, hyena, jackals, serval, caracal, bat-eared fox, aardwolf, wart hog, eland, waterbuck, bushbuck, cheetah, porcupine, aardvark, mongoose, and many others. In addition, the ranch is home to a spectacular array of bird life. Of course, the ranch is very large and animals roam from place to place every day.
