Maasai Mara National Reserve – Kenya
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is Kenya’s most iconic safari destination and one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife landscapes. Located in southwestern Kenya, in Narok County, the Mara forms part of the greater Mara–Serengeti ecosystem, sharing an ecological connection with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.
Famous for its spectacular open savannahs, abundant wildlife, powerful big cats and the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, Maasai Mara offers the classic African safari experience. From watching lions stalk their prey across the golden plains to witnessing vast herds of wildebeest and zebra moving through the ecosystem, every game drive brings the possibility of something extraordinary.
Park entry fees, opening hours and current conservation regulations are published by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
