Wildebeest crossing the Maasai Mara plains during the Great Migration

The reserve takes its name from the Maasai people and the Mara River, with “Mara” traditionally associated with the landscape’s characteristic scattered trees and shrubs. The Maasai have lived in this region for generations, developing pastoral traditions closely connected to cattle, land and community life.
The Maasai Mara is famous for its extraordinary wildlife. Visitors can see lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and numerous antelope species. The reserve is also associated with the Great Wildebeest Migration, when millions of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and other animals, move between the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing.
Game drives are the main activity, while hot-air balloon safaris provide an aerial perspective of the savannah. Visitors can also participate in guided nature walks where permitted and visit Maasai communities.
A cultural visit can include learning about traditional homes, beadwork, dancing, cattle keeping and community traditions. Travellers should choose community experiences that are respectful and genuinely benefit local residents.
