The Masai Mara National Reserve is probably the most famous and most visited Reserve in Kenya. Their dramatic river crossings are a reality for tourists visiting in early July-August. Apart from the seasonal migration, gameviewing is excellent year round. Game includes elephant, black rhino, buffalo, plains zebra, hartebeest and big cats. The rivers are home to hippo and crocodiles.
Accommodation ranges from stone built lodges to luxury tented camps.
The area to the North owned by the Maasai offers great game-viewing, game walks and night games. Safari operators set up private camps for small groups seeking exclusive and traditional safaris out of the Reserve. In the Reserve are four tented camps and two lodges.
