Overview

Kenya welcomes you to arguably the most iconic destination in Kenya and Africa at large, the Masai Mara National Reserve. Masai Mara presents you with an amazing opportunity to experience Kenya’s grandeur on a large scale.

In Masai Mara, you will encounter stunning rolling landscapes, diverse ecosystems, a large population of wildlife species and a magical cultural heritage. Masai Mara is home to the Big Five animals, and holds the highest population of mammals and other wildlife in Kenya. The Mara is also the host conservation area for over 550 recorded bird species. With acceptable temperatures and dry weather for the better part of the year, Mara presents one of the most mesmerizing animal shows in the world, the Wildebeest Migration. The largest annual migration of animals in the world occurs from July through October.

The Wildebeests traverse onto the Mara plains after a successful crossing of the crocodile and hippo-infested Mara River and not falling prey to the Big Cats that prowl the Mara River shores during the migration. As pacesetters, the Zebras and antelopes across from the Serengeti in Tanzania then follow the Wildebeests into the grassy plains of Mara. A Balloon safari takes you to the Mara clear-blue skies where you can marvel at the spotted land and view wildlife from above. A visit to the Masai Villages surrounding the Mara conservation area will offer an eye-opening experience into the culture of the Masai people, the major contributors of the conservation of Mara in its entirety.
