Safaris in the African Wild
Masai Mara
HIGHLIGHT
The Great Wildebeest Migration, the “BIG” Five, Big Cats and Endless plains.
Masai Mara, Kenya
Exploring the
Plains of the Masai Mara
Masai Mara National Reserve is globally recognized as one of the most magnificent wildlife conservation areas on Earth. Situated in southwestern Kenya, this sprawling savanna operates as an unfenced ecosystem with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, allowing free passage to immense populations of free-roaming wildlife.
Named in honour of the ancestral Maasai people - whose culture is deeply intertwined with these lands - "Mara" translates to "spotted" in the Maa language, perfectly capturing the expansive golden plains dotted with iconic umbrella acacia trees.
The Great Migration
Named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, this legendary annual spectacle sees over 1.5 million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles brave the jaws of massive Nile crocodiles as they cross the treacherous Mara River.
Abundant Big Cats
Thanks to the sheer density of prey year-round, the Mara offers world-class opportunities to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs hunting in their natural habitat.
