Masai Mara National Reserve

Home to cheetahs, elephants, lions, wildebeests, hippos and more, Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Kenya’s premier spots to see wildlife. Sign up for a safari to explore this protected area’s 373,130 acres of rolling grasslands.

For an extra dose of adventure, opt for a horseback riding excursion or hot air balloon safari.

To increase your chances of spotting the big five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes) and other migrating animals, time your visit between July and October.
