Masai Mara National Reserve

About Masai Mara National Reserve

Home to the Great Migration and abundant wildlife, the Masai Mara is Kenya's most famous safari destination.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa's most magnificent game reserves. Bordering Tanzania, the Mara is the northern extension of the Serengeti and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. It's named after the statuesque, red-cloaked Maasai people who live in the park and graze their animals there as they have done for centuries. In their language, Mara means 'spotted' and refers to the many short bushy trees that dot the landscape.
