The Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s crown jewel, is an iconic wilderness synonymous with unparalleled wildlife viewing and breathtaking landscapes.


Masai Mara National Reserve, located in the southwest of Kenya, is a world-renowned wildlife haven spanning an impressive 1,510 square kilometres. Named after the Maasai people who inhabit the area, the reserve shares its border with Tanzania’s iconic Serengeti National Park, forming a crucial part of the greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.

The Maasai Mara is celebrated for its exceptional biodiversity, diverse landscapes, and breathtaking wildlife encounters, making it a prime destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers alike.Regarding the origin of the name, the word ‘Masai’ comes from the Maasai community, nomadic inhabitants of the area and the word ‘Mara’ is their word for ‘spotted’, referring to the ubiquitous flat topped acacia trees, shrubs and bushes that dot the landscape across most of the reserve.
