The Maasai Mara is one of Kenya’s most iconic destinations, world-famous for the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the Serengeti into the Mara between July and October. This spectacular phenomenon attracts visitors from all over the globe. The reserve is also home to the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos. Beyond the wildlife, visitors can immerse themselves in Maasai culture by visiting local villages to learn about their customs, dances, and way of life. Scenic hot-air balloon safaris provide a unique aerial perspective of the savannah.
