Overview
Take a trip to Masai Mara on your Kenya Vacation
Masai Mara, also known locally as The Mara, is a national game reserve in the Narok County of Kenya. It is contiguous with the Serengeti National Park and named after the Maasai people, the ancestral inhabitants of the area. The Mara is one of Africa's best wildlife reserves and a new Seven Wonder of the World.
In Masai Mara, a number of exciting activities await you. You can go on a game drive to explore the reserve and spot lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and other wildlife. On a nature walk with a professional guide, you can experience the wilderness from a closer distance. Go on a hot-air balloon safari for an aerial view of the reserve. Visit a local Maasai village to learn about their culture and traditions. If you're visiting between the months of June and September, you will witness the spectacular Wildebeest Migration, the largest animal migration in the world in which over two million animals, including zebra, wildebeest, and gazelle, migrate across the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

What do the experts say?
Goway guests can enjoy unforgettable moments like bush breakfasts, night game drives, and personalized safaris in luxury tented camps
The Samburu Reserve is one of the most colourful game-viewing areas in the country, home to species found nowhere else—like the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra
In peak months like August, the migration draws huge crowds to the river crossings. But conservancies around the Mara limit vehicle numbers, so you still get intimate wildlife moments
Kenya offers the best wildlife viewing with the world-renowned Masai Mara, plus unique species only found in places like Samburu.
I wouldn’t recommend self-driving as Kenya’s roads can be tricky, and they drive on the left side, which can confuse visitors used to North American systems
