Kenya

Masai Mara National Reserve

Kenya’s flagship reserve — big-cat country and the northern stage of the Great Migration.

About Masai Mara National Reserve

Big-cat country

South-west Kenya, on the Tanzanian border, where the Serengeti continues north

The Mara’s rolling grasslands hold some of the highest densities of lion, cheetah and leopard in Africa, and between July and October the wildebeest herds cross the Mara River in their thousands.

Home to the Maasai, it offers game drives, cultural visits and dawn balloon flights over the plains — a land where wildlife and an ancient way of life still flourish side by side.
