Masai Mara National Reserve is located in south west Kenya and is a vast scenic expanse of gently rolling African savannah plains measuring 1510 square kilometers in area and bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south. Masai Mara is the main Kenya Safari destination in East Africa, offering travelers a plethora of reasons to visit this animal paradise. It is a unique wildlife conservation enclave, renowned for its stunning natural diversity of species. Numerous creatures, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, African buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, and many others, can be found in the park in their native habitat, free to explore the vast, miles-long Kenyan wilderness.
Considering that the reserve was chosen as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, it should come as no surprise that visitors from all over the world come here to enjoy a Masai Mara Safari tour. The Maasai tribe, who are nomadic in nature, are the source of the term “Masai.” Their word for “spotted” (mara) refers to the common flat-topped acacia trees, shrubs, and plants that are found across the majority of the reserve.
