The Maasai Mara, a top safari destination in Kenya, is renowned for its vast savannahs, diverse wildlife, and stunning landscapes. Part of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, it is home to the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—as well as cheetahs, zebras, wildebeests, and many bird species. Visitors enjoy thrilling game drives and the Great Migration from July to October, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River. The reserve also offers cultural experiences with the Maasai people, adding a unique dimension to the safari adventure.
