Kenya Safari in Masai Mara National Park

Located in south-western Kenya, bordering Serengeti National Park, on the Tanzania border. Altitude: 1,500 - 2,100 meters.

The unfenced Masai Mara covers 1 500km² and, together with the neighbouring Serengeti (combined, they form one ecosystem), is home to the greatest concentration of large mammals on earth.

The great migration of over two million wildebeest and other grazing ungulates every year is the Mara's foremost attraction and one of the greatest spectacles in the animal kingdom. Each year, far south in the vast Serengeti, the wildebeest raise their heads, sniff the air, and as if of one accord, start the long trek to the Kenyan border.

An endless thunder of wildebeest and zebra enter the Mara around the end of July, drawn by the sweet grass. Add to this the richness of fauna, profusion of winged beauty and untouched landscape, and you have magical Masai Mara.

Virtually every common species of East African wildlife may be seen here including elephants, the legendary black-maned lions, leopard, cheetah, giraffes, wildebeests, buffalo, wart hogs, zebras, gazelles, topi, hyena, ostrich, hippos, baboons and many others.

There are more than two million animals in the Mara during the annual wildebeest migration. An extraordinary variety of birdlife is also known to the immediate area.

The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendour and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination. To capture the true spirit of East Africa there is nothing quite like the experience of adventure in Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve.

For many people, timing their Masai Mara Safari to coincide with the migration seems vital - but with a very abundant and healthy resident population of animals, a holiday to the Masai Mara is great at any time of the year.
