Masai Mara

Why go

The Masai Mara is the northern half of the Serengeti ecosystem and Kenya's most celebrated reserve. It's famous for big cats, the dramatic Mara River crossings of the migration, and the red-robed Maasai communities who share the land.

Highlights

• Mara River migration crossings (roughly July–October)
• Some of Africa's best lion, leopard and cheetah viewing
• Maasai village visits and cultural experiences
• Conservancy safaris with off-road driving and night drives
