Masai Mara

A region truly described by its people

The Masai Mara is named after the Maasai people that inhabit the region and the Mara River which snakes through the reserve. It is home to the ‘big five’ amongst many other species making a Masai Mara safari tour one of the most popular destination and activities in Kenya. The Maasai Mara also plays host to the incredible spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration. The area has an amazing concentration of wildlife, particularly when the migratory wildebeest and zebras are grazing on the lush plains from June to October. Surrounding the Masai Mara National Reserve are a number of private conservancies of varying sizes owned by Maasai communities.
