Year-round wildlife
The Mara has excellent resident wildlife even when the migrating herds are elsewhere.
Maasai Mara
Kenya’s most famous
wildlife area.
Outstanding big-cat viewing, beautiful open plains and the chance to see the Great Migration.
Our take
Reserve or
conservancy?
Both can be excellent, but they offer different experiences.
The national reserve provides access to the main migration crossings, while the adjoining private conservancies control vehicle numbers and allow activities such as walking and night drives. Many itineraries combine the two; at other times we may recommend staying entirely in a conservancy.
The Migration
The herds are usually in the ecosystem between July and October, but rainfall determines their exact position and crossings cannot be guaranteed.
Private conservancies
Lower vehicle density, strong guiding and a greater range of activities often create a more relaxed safari.
