Masai Mara Reserve - City of Kenya

Masai Mara Reserve is the kind of unfettered, sprawling wilderness you thought only existed on Hollywood film sets. But it's real and out there: experience Kenya's finest wildlife reserve on a Masai Mara safari holiday - where the land pulses with raw energy and a dazzling array of animals takes centre stage.

The reserve is unfenced and its southern reaches border the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The two countries share the vast Serengeti plains, with the wildlife free to roam between Kenya and Tanzania in search of good grazing - or prey...

And of course at certain times of the year the famous Masai Mara rumbles to the beat of hundreds of thousands of hooves as the Great Wildebeest Migration rolls in.

Between July and October unimaginable numbers of wildebeest, zebra and gazelles flood into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti where they gather to graze and relax on the Mara's plains, which - at about one third of the size of the enormous Serengeti National Park - is more manageable from a game-viewing point of view.

Masai Mara tours and safaris ranging from short, intensive tours to much longer itineraries that include other great wildlife destinations.

Masai Mara is full of animals throughout the year and is rich in Africa's biggest wildlife attractions: predators are abundant - lion sightings in particular are incredibly common - and other members of the Big 5 are encountered around almost every corner.

Masai Mara safari holiday provides a year-round safari experience that will live in your memory long after the dust of Africa has settled.
