Overview
Covering 1,510 sq km in southwestern Kenya and contiguous with Tanzania's Serengeti, the Maasai Mara is a globally famous reserve. Each July-October, more than two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross from the Serengeti in the Great Migration - widely considered the planet's greatest wildlife event. You can observe all the Big Five here, and lion density is among the highest in Africa.
Opening Hours
Daily 06:00-18:00
Travel Tips
For the Great Migration visit July-October, but check local updates as exact timing varies. Early morning and late afternoon are best for game drives, and a hot-air balloon safari (pre-booking required) is a special highlight.
