Embark on an unforgettable journey through Kenya, a land of breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. This 7-night, 8-day adventure takes you through some of the most iconic safari destinations, from the rugged terrain of Samburu to the lush plains of the Masai Mara. Witness the famed Big Five, marvel at the spectacular Great Rift Valley, and immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Maasai people. Experience the wild like never before on this thrilling safari expedition.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most renowned wildlife destinations in the world. Its vast savannahs, incredible biodiversity, and dramatic predator-prey interactions make it an unmissable experience for wildlife lovers.
Beyond the core Masai Mara National Reserve, numerous conservancies and Maasai villages contribute to the region’s ecological and cultural richness. These conservancies are owned by Maasai families, who lease land to safari lodges, fostering a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship between conservation and community development.
From July to October, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes journey from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in search of fresh pastures. This migration is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles.
The Masai Mara is a haven for Africa’s big cats, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The abundance of prey during the Great Migration ensures thrilling sightings of these majestic predators in action.
The reserve’s name comes from the Maasai people and the term “Mara,” meaning “spotted” in their language, which describes the landscape’s scattered trees and rolling plains. Covering 1,510 square kilometers, the Masai Mara ecosystem is bordered by the Serengeti to the south and Maasai ranches to the north, east, and west.
Established in 1961 as a wildlife sanctuary, the Masai Mara originally covered 520 square kilometers, including the Mara Triangle. It was later expanded and designated as a National Reserve in 1974. Today, the Masai Mara and its conservancies balance conservation and community development, ensuring the protection of wildlife while benefiting the local Maasai communities.
