Know before you go

  • Masai Mara: Blessed with an outstanding concentration of animals and panoramic views across the plains and dotted woodlands, the Masai Mara provides an unsurpassed experience. As the northern extension of the great Serengeti grassland, the reserve is host to the annual migration of over a million wildebeest, the most awesome wildlife spectacle on planet earth. The Mara covers an area of about 1,500 square kilometres in the southwestern corner of Kenya, is not fenced, and is bordered on the west by the Olooloo Escarpment and on the east by the Ngama Hills. The common language of the Masai is Maa, in which the word Mara means spotted - referring to the clusters of bush that dot the plains. In addition to the wildebeest and hordes of zebra that join them in their annual pilgrimage for pasture, the Masai Mara supports lion, cheetah, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thomson's gazelle, and the Defassa waterbuck, as well as eight species of primate.
