Kenya
Masai Mara
The Greatest Wildlife Spectacle on Earth
About This Destination
The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's most celebrated wildlife sanctuary, a vast expanse of golden savanna that hosts the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. Here, the drama of predator and prey plays out against breathtaking landscapes, while the thundering hooves of over a million wildebeest announce the annual Great Migration. Beyond the wildlife, the Mara offers an intimate connection with the Maasai people, whose crimson shukas have coloured this landscape for centuries.
