Masai Mara Safari
Discover the wonders of Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's most celebrated safari destination. Known for the awe-inspiring spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration, the Mara is a cornerstone of the vast Serengeti ecosystem. Its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers, and towering escarpments create one of the most rewarding wildlife arenas on the planet.
Our Masai Mara Safaris:
Our Masai Mara safaris epitomize Africa's classic safari adventure, featuring prominently in our top recommended Kenya safari tours. Given its global popularity, we advise booking your Masai Mara adventure well in advance, especially if you aim to witness the wildebeest migration.
Game Viewing / Game Drives & Costs:
The Mara's diverse population of resident game, including the Big 5 – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino – ensures excellent game viewing year-round. Our safari packages include multiple daily game drives, providing an immersive experience of the Mara's wildlife.
Best Time To Visit Masai Mara:
The dry season from late June to October is the prime time for wildlife viewing. The wildebeest migration, a highlight of the Mara, typically occurs from July to late November. However, the low season from November to March offers its own advantages, such as fewer tourists, lower rates, and a landscape teeming with newborn animals and migratory birds.
Masai Mara Safaris - Wildebeest Migration:
The annual Great Wildebeest Migration rolls in between July and October unimaginable numbers of wildebeest, zebra and gazelles flood into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti where they gather to graze and relax on the Mara's plains.
Masai Mara Safari Cost and Package Prices:
Several factors influence the cost of your Masai Mara safari, including park fees, transportation, accommodation type, and travel season. We offer a range of Masai Mara safaris and packages, from romantic escapes to family-friendly adventures, ensuring a memorable experience tailored to your needs.
Don't Compromise on Accommodation:
Your choice of accommodation is a cornerstone of your Masai Mara safari experience. A day filled with thrilling wildlife encounters deserves an end that is just as memorable, defined by the comfort and amenities of your lodgings.
Vehicle Matters:
The type of vehicle you choose for your safari can significantly enhance your overall adventure. More than just a means of transport, a safari vehicle can deeply influence your wildlife viewing experiences and comfort throughout the trip.
Road or Air? Your Lodge and Camp Choices:
The choice between traveling by road or air to the Masai Mara can significantly depend on your accommodation's location in the park. For example, if you have reservations at lodges like Mara Serena Safari Lodge, nestled deep within the park, you may want to consider air travel.
Exploring Beyond the Maasai Mara:
While the Maasai Mara National Reserve stands as a beacon of wildlife conservation and a must-visit destination for safari enthusiasts, it's essential to recognize the impacts of its popularity. By exploring other parks and conservancies, visitors can enjoy unique safari experiences while contributing to the conservation of these areas.
