Nestled in the southwest of Kenya and covering 1,510 square kilometers (583 square miles), the Masai Mara is a breathtaking expanse of open plains, rolling hills, and abundant wildlife. It is one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations.
The reserve offers an exceptional year-round concentration of wildlife, and is world-renowned for the Great Migration — a dramatic movement of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes crossing the Mara in search of greener pastures.
The Masai Mara is a true paradise for photographers and nature lovers. Elephants, buffalo, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs roam the plains, while leopards are frequently spotted in the trees and thickets. The elusive black rhino finds shelter in denser areas, and the Mara River is home to large pods of hippos and massive Nile crocodiles. With more than 450 bird species recorded, birdwatchers are in for a treat.
Whether you’re seeking thrilling game drives, cultural encounters, or awe-inspiring landscapes, the Masai Mara delivers an unforgettable African experience.
