The world’s most magnificent natural theatre, Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve, is where Hayward’s are based during October each year to meet the incredible migration.

Set in the heart of Africa’s Great Plains, the Masai Mara boasts 1,672 sq. kilometres of unspoilt wilderness. It offers the best game and bird viewing not only in Kenya, but anywhere in Africa.

The views across the rolling golden grasslands studded with acacia trees, rivers and forests are dazzling, the sense of space overwhelming.

Hayward’s Camp positioned at point 3 on map.

Throughout the year the Masai Mara is a place of natural drama, a kaleidoscope of colour and life.

The famed "Big Five" - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo - roam the reserve, together with hundreds of other species, from the fastest animal on earth, the cheetah to the most explosive, crocodiles and magnificent birds of prey.

Roosevelt was moved to write:
"The land teems with beasts of the chase, infinite in numbers and incredible variety.
It holds the fiercest beasts of raving and the fleetest and most timid.
It holds the largest and smallest.
It holds the mightiest creatures that tread the earth or swim in its rivers.”
