Overview

The Masai Mara National Reserve is a vast, iconic savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, widely considered one of Africa's greatest and most spectacular wildlife destinations. It forms the northernmost extension of the famed Serengeti ecosystem. The Mara is synonymous with the annual Great Migration, a breathtaking natural phenomenon where over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle undertake a perilous journey from the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing, culminating in dramatic river crossings at the crocodile-infested Mara River.

Beyond the migration, the Mara is a year-round haven for an astonishing density of wildlife, including the renowned Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), as well as cheetahs, hyenas and giraffes. The landscape of rolling golden grasslands, dotted with acacia trees and bisected by rivers, provides the quintessential African safari experience.

The reserve is also defined by its deep cultural heritage, being the ancestral home of the semi-nomadic Maasai people. Their rich traditions, vibrant dress and harmonious coexistence with the wildlife add a profound cultural dimension to a visit. Offering everything from classic game drives and hot air balloon safaris to cultural visits with local communities, the Masai Mara provides an unparalleled and immersive journey into the heart of wild Africa.
