Masai Mara Safari

The Annual Migration Between The Masai Mara And Serengeti Is, Without Question, One Of Kenya's Top Safari Attractions

A Masai Mara safari is a must-see for any wildlife enthusiast. The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to some of the most iconic animals in Africa, including lions, elephants, and wildebeests. A safari in the Masai Mara is the perfect way to experience this fantastic wildlife up close and personal. A safari in the Masai Mara is the perfect way to see all of Africa's unique wildlife and birdlife.

The annual migration between the Masai Mara and Serengeti National Park is one of Kenya's (and Africa's) top safari attractions. The Masai Mara National Reserve, with its savannahs, grasslands and undulating hills, all combine to set the scene for the splendour of a Kenya safari. Every year between July to September, one can witness this annual migration of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles from the plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, crossing over into the Masai Mara.

A photographer's paradise and a bird lovers' heaven!

The Masai Mara National Reserve is world-famous for a reason – it's one of the most stunning and wildlife-rich destinations on the planet. Here are some of the highlights you can expect:

  • Witness the Great Migration – perhaps the most extraordinary natural spectacle on earth, when millions of wildebeest and zebra thunder across the plains in search of food.
  • Africa's iconic wildlife is found in abundance: spot lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and more.
  • Soar high over the plains in a hot air balloon – a unique way to enjoy the incredible scenery.
  • Experiencing traditional Masai culture – the Masai are one of Africa's most colourful and fascinating tribes, and you can learn more about their culture and way of life.
  • Relax in a luxury tented camp – with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms and stunning views.

Witnessing this incredible spectacle will be an experience that will stay with you forever. It's not just about seeing animals, though – it's also about experiencing them too! You can go on game drives or even take part in walking excursions where you can get up close with these magnificent creatures as they roam freely across their natural habitat. And if that isn't enough, then there are plenty more activities available such as hot air balloon rides over Maasai Mara, a must-do bucket-list item in our opinion.

When it comes to Masai Mara lodges and remote tented camps that can be included in one's itinerary, there is no shortage of accommodation options from which to choose. The lodges and tented camps are typically located within the National Reserve and/or surrounding private safari concessions, providing stunning views of the iconic wildlife reserve. The lodges and camps offer an intimate and exclusive Masai Mara safari experience, with modern conveniences you would expect and top-notch service and cuisine.
