The Maasai Mara is arguably Kenya’s most iconic and visited game reserve, celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes and incredible abundance of wildlife. Made famous by the award-winning film Out of Africa, this legendary reserve offers a true African safari experience like no other.

Home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—the Mara is teeming with a wide variety of wildlife throughout the year. However, the most spectacular natural event is the Great Wildebeest Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the plains from Tanzania’s Serengeti, crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River into Kenya in search of greener pastures. This epic journey typically takes place from late June through October and is regarded as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.

Beyond mammals, the Maasai Mara is also a haven for bird lovers, with over 450 recorded bird species, including vibrant raptors, ground dwellers, and migratory species.

Whether you’re tracking big cats on a game drive or soaking in golden sunsets over the savannah, Maasai Mara delivers an unforgettable safari experience.
