The Masai Mara National Reserve, an emblem of Kenya's natural splendor, spans 1,510 square kilometres in southwestern Kenya.
Located in southwestern Kenya, the Masai Mara National Reserve stands as an iconic symbol of African wildlife and natural beauty. Covering approximately 1,510 square kilometres, this reserve is an integral part of the greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, renowned for its rich biodiversity and the annual Great Migration.
Established in 1961, the Masai Mara captivates with sweeping grasslands, acacia-dotted plains, and the annual Great Migration spectacle. Rich in biodiversity, the reserve shelters the Big Five and boasts a high concentration of predators.
Beyond wildlife, encounters with Maasai communities add cultural depth to the experience, making the Masai Mara a timeless haven for nature enthusiasts.
The Masai Mara is famous for its sweeping grasslands, acacia-dotted plains, and clusters of distinctive Balanites trees. The Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing, is a spectacular event that unfolds annually. The reserve also boasts a high concentration of predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
The peak wildlife viewing season in Masai Mara occurs during the dry months from July to October when the Great Migration is in full swing.
However, the reserve offers year-round attractions, with varied landscapes and wildlife activities during other seasons.
