Info
Between July and October, the Masai Mara hosts the spectacular Great Migration, when over a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing — a dramatic event filled with predator-prey action that draws travelers from across the globe.
Even outside migration season, the Mara offers outstanding year-round game viewing, with healthy populations of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, and buffalo roaming its rolling savannah grasslands. Hot air balloon safaris over the reserve at sunrise are a bucket-list experience offered by many lodges in the area.
The reserve is also bordered by Maasai community conservancies, giving travelers the chance to experience authentic Maasai culture, traditional dances, and homestead visits alongside world-class game drives.
