Maasai Mara Safari

Witness One of Africa’s Greatest Wildlife Reserves

Named in honor of the Maasai people, the ancestral inhabitants of the area, Maasai Mara is one of the greatest wildlife reserves in all of Africa. Together with its neighboring park, the Serengeti, it forms one of the country’s most diverse and spectacular ecosystems, offering breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences. Located in southwestern Kenya, near the border of Tanzania, the park stretches across 1,510 square kilometers, teeming with wildlife.

When going on a Maasai Mara safari, you’ll have the opportunity to see many of the most iconic animals, such as lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs and more in their natural habitat. Maasai Mara also hosts the Great Migration, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa where you can witness thousands of wildebeests, zebras and other animals crossing the Mara River from Tanzania.

Aside from its incredible wildlife, you’ll have the chance to explore the rich culture of the local Maasai in their villages. Engage with the locals, learn about their traditions, and experience the perfect blend of cultural immersion and wildlife adventure with our tailored Maasai Mara safaris.

Best time to visit Maasai Mara

Planning your trip to Maasai Mara at the right time can enhance your experience, depending on what you’re looking for. No matter when you visit, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable adventure, but the season you choose—wet or dry—will shape your Maasai Mara safari experience in different ways.

June - October (Dry Season)

During this period, the weather is generally sunny and dry, so don’t forget to pack sunscreen. With limited water sources, animals tend to gather around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot during game drives. If witnessing the Great Migration is on your bucket list, August and September are the prime months to see the massive herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. The dry season offers excellent visibility and comfortable safari conditions, making it a popular time for visitors.

November – May (Wet Season)

This time of year sees fewer tourists, offering a more tranquil and intimate safari experience. The landscape transforms into a lush, green paradise, creating stunning scenery for photography. Expect increased rainfall in March, April, November, and December, so be sure to pack appropriate clothing. Birdwatching enthusiasts will especially love the wet season, as migratory birds make their way to the park, adding vibrant colors and diverse species to the ecosystem. Despite the rains, wildlife remains abundant, and game drives still offer fantastic sightings making this a great opportunity for Maasai Mara safaris.

No matter when you visit, Maasai Mara promises an awe-inspiring adventure filled with remarkable wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes. Book your next adventure with us at World Adventure Tours!
