Few wildlife destinations can match the allure and mystique of the fabled Maasai Mara. This is where the modern concept of safari took root; it’s also among the earliest places explored by our distant African ancestors.

The endless grasslands of the Mara are a truly iconic landscape – studded with lone acacia trees and rocky kopjes, they offer endless vistas – and are home to a vast array of wildlife, in numbers that simply can’t be found elsewhere.

Even outside of the Great Wildebeest Migration – which passes through this area as part of its constant cycle – there is a great deal of resident wildlife to look out for, and game drives in the Mara ecosystem are always rewarding. The Mara is also home to the Maasai, one of Africa’s most recognisable tribal groups, and the visionary custodians of this special place.

Our ‘The Best of the Mara’ safari gives you the opportunity to stay at two different camps and see the Mara ecosystem from multiple perspectives. Like all our suggested safaris, The Best of the Mara can be customised to meet your specific requirements and tailored to focus on your interests. Talk to our journey specialists about adapting or extending this itinerary to create a Kenyan safari that’s as unique as you are.
