About Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Maasai Mara is Kenya's most celebrated game reserve, renowned for its exceptional populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants. The annual wildebeest migration, one of the "Seven New Wonders of the World," sees over 1.5 million animals cross from the Serengeti into the Mara between July and October. Beyond the wildlife, the reserve is named after the Maasai people, who live in harmony with nature and offer rich cultural experiences.
