Maasai Mara Safari

Maasai Mara is one of Africa’s most famous and essential wildlife conservation and wildlife areas. Masai Mara Safari Kenya is renowned for the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), the big cats (cheetah, leopard, lion), and the Great Annual Migration, one of the wonders of the world. The Maasai Mara comprises different areas, the Mara Triangle and Masai Mara conservancies (Lemek, Olkinyel, siana, Koiyaki, and more).

The Masai Mara National Reserve people

The Maasai people, who are pastoralists, inhabit Masai mara safari park and grace their cattle and goats inside the reserve. So it is unsurprising to find a Maasai Boy looking after the cattle with lions not far away. On safari in Maasai Mara, you will find many Maasis looking after their cattle inside the Masai Mara park.

Maasai Mara Safari Highlight – wildlife – big cat – Migration

Maasai Mara River, which passes across Masai Mara to Serengeti, is a significant water source for the Maasai and their cattle and the wildlife in the Maasai Mara. During the Migration, the wildebeest will cross the Mara Southwest of Kenya and northern Serengeti safari park and return through the same route.

Wildebeest migration

Beating all the odds over two million wildebeest cross river mara. Crocodiles await in the water for a bite while the big cats and other wildlife follow them for a kill. Though the Great Migration is not the only exciting safari in Masai Mara, it drives so many visitors every year to Masai Mara and always goes back again and again.
