Maasai Mara National Reserve is among Africa’s most famous safari destinations and was named Africa’s Leading National Park from 2013 to 2018. It rests in the Great Rift Valley and is mainly open grassland, making it ideal for wildlife viewing.
The park sees an increase in its activities during the annual Great Migration that sees over 1.8 million wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes visit the reserve. While the migration happens between July to September, you can still find over 95 species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and over 400 bird species around the year.
