Kenya Safaris to Masai Mara

Safari summary

The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is a popular wildlife destination known for its vast savannah landscapes, abundant wildlife, and the annual wildebeest migration. Covering approximately 583 square miles, the reserve is home to the Big Five, giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas, and over 450 bird species. Visitors can learn about the Masai culture and traditions by visiting local villages and engaging with the local people. The reserve offers scenic landscapes, acacia trees, and picturesque views, making it an ideal destination for photography. To ensure a comfortable stay, pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, sun protection, binoculars, and a camera. Before visiting, be aware of malaria risk, altitude, respect for wildlife, and cultural sensitivity. Remember to take precautions, acclimate to the altitude, and respect the Masai people's customs. The best time to visit the reserve generally falls during the dry season, which occurs from late June to October. If you prefer a quieter experience and are willing to compromise on the migration, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of late March to May or November to December.
