Maasai Mara
Maasai Mara - The Official Guide
Maasai Mara (Masai Mara) is known as Africa’s Greatest Wildlife Reserve, situated in southwest Kenya. Famous for the abundance of lion, the Great Wildebeest Migration and the Maasai people, well known for their distinctive custom and dress, it is without a doubt Africa’s most famous safari destination.
Maasai Mara National Reserve stretches 1,510 sq km (580 sq miles) and raises 1,500-2,170 meters above sea level. The terrain of the reserve is primarily grassland and riverine forest with clumps of the distinctive acacia trees. It’s about 270 km from the capital city Nairobi and takes about 5-6 hours by road or 40-45 minutes by flight.
The Maasai Mara Ecosystem holds one of the highest lion densities in world and this is where over TWO MILLION Wildebeest, Zebra and Thomsons Gazelle migrate annually. Its hosts over 95 species of mammals and 570 recorded species of birds.

Travel
We have all heard about the role Kenya is playing in Somalia, and all the threats in Kenya. We are sure that while on safari in Kenya the likelihood for any problem happening in the wild is very minimal.
There are travel warnings, we know, but this does not mean you are in danger in the bush. Actually, you might be more safe in the bush than at your own home!
We welcome you to the Maasai Mara experience of a life time.
