Maasai Mara
My Safari
Call a specialist to talk about Maasai Mara now.
The most visited of Kenya’s National Reserves, the Maasai Mara lies adjacent to Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park in the south west corner of Kenya. It covers over 1500 sq km and is 1500 to 2000 metres above sea level. It has a high rainfall due to the altitude and its proximity to Lake Victoria. The Mara River runs from north to south through the park. The landscape is mainly gently rolling grassland and is home to the highest concentration of wildlife of any Kenyan reserve.
In particular, the Mara is home to the spectacular annual migration of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle which arrive in the Maasai Mara, from the Serengeti in neighbouring Tanzania, in July and August and return south to the Serengeti around October when the grass is becoming sparse in the Maasai Mara.
It is also home to the long-running BBC TV series 'Big Cat Diary', although you should not necessarily expect to encounter the sort of scenes that you have seen on screen.
The only way to get truly acquainted with the African bush is to see it on foot. Walking safaris offer a unique insight into an amazing habitat.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
The main attraction of most safaris is the wildlife - find out what to expect here.

We can offer serious enthusiasts dedicated photographic tours, but a safari is an ideal place to brush up on your skills whether you are using a dSLR or compact.
Africa is home to many thousands of species of birds, so don't forget your binoculars and spotting guide.
A great way to explore the bush is at dusk when nocturnal wildlife begins to emerge.
