The Maasai Mara is one of Kenya’s most famous safari destinations, and for good reason.
Its sweeping grasslands, abundant wildlife and spectacular landscapes create the classic African safari experience that travellers dream about.
Wildlife at Every Turn
The Maasai Mara is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards and many other species.
Every game drive brings a new opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural environment.
The Great Wildebeest Migration
One of the most famous natural spectacles in Africa takes place within the greater Mara ecosystem.
Millions of wildebeest and other grazing animals move through the wider Serengeti-Mara ecosystem during their annual migration.
For travellers interested in experiencing migration season, careful planning around travel dates is essential.
A Photographer’s Paradise
The Mara offers spectacular opportunities for wildlife photography.
Golden grasslands, dramatic skies, predators, elephants and unforgettable sunsets provide countless photographic moments.
Early morning and late afternoon game drives are particularly rewarding for photographers because of the softer light.
Experience Maasai Culture
A safari in the Mara can also include cultural experiences that provide an opportunity to learn about Maasai traditions, community life and the relationship between people and the surrounding environment.
How Long Should You Stay?
A short safari can introduce you to the Mara, but staying several nights gives you more time for game drives and allows you to explore different areas.
Brison Safaris can create anything from a short Maasai Mara getaway to a longer Kenya safari combining the Mara with Amboseli, Tsavo, Lake Nakuru and other destinations.
