The Masai Mara in southwestern Kenya is one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations — famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, exceptional big cat sightings, and the rich culture of the Maasai people who share this landscape.
Contiguous with Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, the Mara forms a single vast ecosystem supporting some of the densest wildlife populations on Earth.
Every year between July and October, over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, and 500,000 gazelle cross the Mara River from the Serengeti in a dramatic spectacle of predation and survival. Crocodiles await in the river crossings, while lions and cheetahs hunt the arriving herds on the plains.
