The Maasai Mara, located in southwestern Kenya, is a renowned wildlife reserve known for its exceptional populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants. Named in honor of the Maasai people, the ancestral inhabitants of the area, and the Mara River that runs through it, this reserve is a continuation of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
One of the most spectacular natural events that take place in the Maasai Mara is the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other antelopes traverse the plains in search of greener pastures, braving predators and treacherous river crossings. This phenomenon, typically occurring between July and October, draws nature enthusiasts and photographers from around the globe, eager to witness one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on Earth.
The reserve’s diverse ecosystem, featuring savannas, riverine forests, and open plains, supports an incredible variety of wildlife and offers unparalleled opportunities for safari adventures.
