Masai Mara Game Reserve

Masai Mara, one of Africa’s most famous wildlife reserves, is located in southwestern Kenya, adjoining Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. Spanning over 1,500 square kilometers, this reserve is renowned for its rich wildlife, including the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), as well as large populations of cheetahs, zebras, and giraffes. The Masai Mara is best known for the Great Migration, a spectacular annual event where over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse from the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing lands. This breathtaking phenomenon attracts nature enthusiasts from around the world. Along with its abundant wildlife, the Masai Mara offers stunning savannah landscapes, riverine forests, and a unique insight into the Maasai culture. The reserve provides exceptional game viewing all year round, with various safari activities such as hot air balloon rides, night game drives, and cultural visits.
