Park & reserve
Masai Mara the great open stage
Africa's most celebrated reserve: lion, leopard, cheetah and the world's greatest wildlife spectacle from July to October.
Why it matters
The Mara is the headline act for a reason. Year-round big cats, the migration river crossings in season, and a patchwork of community conservancies that keep vehicle numbers lower than the main reserve.
Choose a conservancy camp for quieter game viewing and easy access to the river crossing points.
