01 — About Maasai Mara
What makes it special
The Maasai Mara National Reserve and the conservancies around it form the Kenyan side of the Mara–Serengeti ecosystem. Open grassland, riverine forest and scattered acacias support some of the densest wildlife in Africa.
The reserve is known for lion, leopard and cheetah, and for the wildebeest and zebra herds that usually move up from the Serengeti in the second half of the year.
- Big cats on open plains
- Wildebeest and zebra herds
- Mara River
- Optional balloon flights
- Maasai culture
Wildlife moves freely and sightings are never guaranteed. We will advise on timing for your dates.

The Great Migration
Follow the herds, month by month.
Each year, great herds of wildebeest and zebra move in a loop between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara, following the rain and fresh grass. Choose a month to see where they usually are.
Typical timing only. The herds follow the rains, so their movements shift from year to year. Illustrated satellite-style map, not to scale. Positions are approximate.
In Tanzania’s Serengeti
November
Eastern Serengeti, Tanzania
The short rains return and the herds stream south through the eastern Serengeti.
The great herds are in Tanzania now, but the Maasai Mara’s resident wildlife, including lions, elephants and cheetahs, is there all year.
