Why Maasai Mara?
I’ve been to Maasai Mara many times- it still takes my breath away. While it’s well-known for the Great Migration, recognized as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World, it’s still possible to find quiet corners with lions, elephants, wildcats, and even over 450 bird species. Perhaps even seen from a hot air balloon!
This is the land of the Maasai – known for their vibrant traditions,rich culture, beautiful traditional attire, dances, and warm hospitality.
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of culture and wildlife, this is it.
Best time to visit Masai Mara
Between March and June, it’s quieter, greener, and better for the animals – and your experience.
If you’d like to see the Migration, it’s important to book a well-situated lodge 9-12 months ahead. This way you’ll watch the herds from your lodge tented camp instead of competing with 100+ vehicles to see the animals.
