The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's crown jewel — 1,510km² of golden savannah, acacia woodlands, and dramatic river crossings that define the East African safari. Each year from July to October, over 1.5 million wildebeest pour across the Mara River from Tanzania's Serengeti in the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth.
Beyond the migration, the Mara delivers year-round Big 5 encounters, extraordinary big cat density, and some of Africa's finest safari camps. With unfenced borders connecting to the Serengeti, private conservancies offering exclusive game drives and night safaris, and the Maasai people sharing their centuries-old culture, the Masai Mara is where safari dreams come true.
The National Reserve offers the classic Mara experience with river crossings and high wildlife density. Private conservancies surrounding it offer exclusive access, night drives, walking safaris, and strict vehicle limits — often just 2–3 vehicles per sighting.
Migration season (Jul–Oct) for dramatic Mara River crossings — the world's greatest wildlife spectacle. Green season (Nov–May) offers lush landscapes, newborn wildlife, fewer crowds, and the best lodge offers. Big cats are year-round.
The Masai Mara pairs beautifully with Nairobi's Giraffe Manor, Amboseli (Kilimanjaro views), Samburu's rare wildlife, Diani Beach for bush & beach, or cross the border into Tanzania's Serengeti for the ultimate migration circuit.
