More about this tour
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is widely regarded as Africa's premier wildlife destination. Its vast open savannahs, riverine forests, rolling hills, and permanent water sources support one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the continent.
The reserve forms part of the greater Serengeti-Mara ecosystem and is famous for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move between Tanzania and Kenya. Throughout the year, visitors enjoy exceptional game viewing, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and hippos.
The Mara's dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife, and rich Maasai culture make it one of the most rewarding safari destinations in the world.
