The Masai Mara fulfils the dreams of any visitor searching for an amazing safari experience. The iconic African landscapes - endless seas of golden grass dotted with picturesque acacia trees - are home to cheetah, leopard, large prides of lions, elephants, giraffe, hyena, huge Nile crocodiles, frolicking hippos and a rich density and diversity of many other species.

The history of this area can be traced back at least 2,000 years, when Neolithic man discarded pottery and arrow heads in the Lemek valley slightly north of the reserve. The Maasai herdsmen have occupied the area since the 17th century, living in harmony with the wildlife as pastoralists.

Wildlife viewing in the Mara is fantastic all year round and the months of July to October heralds in the most spectacular wildlife experiences on earth - the annual migration of close to two million wildebeest and zebra following the seasonal rains in a quest for fresh grass.
