Great Migration, the 'Big 5', Cultural Visits
Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, renowned for its abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Located in southwestern Kenya, the reserve is part of the larger Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which hosts the world-famous Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the Mara River, braving predators like lions and crocodiles in a dramatic display of nature’s raw power. Beyond the migration, the Masai Mara offers unparalleled opportunities to witness the Big Five—lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos—along with a rich variety of other species, including cheetahs, giraffes, and hippos.
