Maasai Mara National Reserve
Narok County, southwest Kenya
- Premium
- nature
Kenya’s flagship reserve and the northern reach of the Serengeti ecosystem, famous for the Great Migration river crossings between roughly July and October. Big cats are the draw — the Mara has one of Africa’s highest lion densities — and the conservancies bordering the reserve offer quieter, off-road game viewing with community-run camps at every budget tier.
