Rift Valley
Masai Mara National Reserve
Kenya's theatre of the Great Migration
No landscape defines the African safari quite like the Mara. Endless golden grassland rolls to the horizon, broken only by acacia thorn trees and the Mara River, where each year over two million wildebeest and zebra cross in one of nature's last great spectacles. Resident lion prides, leopard along the river's forested banks, and some of the highest predator densities on the continent make the Mara the natural heart of any Kenyan safari.
Highlights
- The Great Migration river crossings (July–October)
- World-class predator sightings — lion, leopard, cheetah
- Hot air balloon safaris at dawn over the plains
