Maasai Mara

Big cats and the great river crossings

About Maasai Mara

Kenya's most famous reserve, home to lions, leopards, cheetahs and the Mara River crossings.

The Maasai Mara is known for its dense predator populations and its open grassland. Between roughly July and October the Great Migration brings wildebeest and zebra to the Mara River, though the reserve rewards visitors all year.
