Maasai Mara National Reserve trip planner

Home to the Great Migration and Africa's exceptional wildlife, Maasai Mara is a must on a Kenya itinerary. This reserve boasts some of the region's most varied topography, including hilly terrain, an escarpment leading to a plateau, and wide-open central plains that form much of the reserve. Wildlife-watching is the main event here, providing for outstanding sightseeing opportunities across 1,510 sq km (583 sq mi) of open-game territory. African elephants, Cape buffalo, black rhinoceros, crocodiles, and wildebeests roam the plains in a grand wildlife display. Maasai Mara National Reserve is in Rift Valley Province.
