Masai Mara National Reserve

About The Park

Located 280 Kilometers away on the Northwest of the Kenya's capital city Nairobi, Masai Mara is one of the premier destinations in the bucket list of anyone visiting Africa or National Parks around the world. It (along with Serengeti) has been voted one of the 7 new wonders of the world due to the Great Migration where millions of Wildebeest, Zebras, Antelopes cross over to Serengeti in pursuit of food and breeding. Masai Mara has been the setting for some of the best wildlife documentaries.

Best Time To Visit

The long cool-dry season from July to October is considered to be the best time of the year to visit Masai Mara as the absence of rain means that the flora is less dense, so animals are easier to observe– you’ll catch the wildlife migration in full flow too.

Wildlife
