Without match. If this is the one park you can visit for a safari, make it the Masai Mara.

The Mara is large enough that you can wander away from the endless stream of safari vehicles. And it is oh, so worth it! To witness the Great Migration in all it's dust and sound and smell and life. Do not miss it.
Fantastic on an organised safari, hard work on self drive. Lots of relatively cheap tented accommodation on the outside of the park near the gates. Otherwise very expensive. Compared to comparably sized southern African parks the Mara is hard to find your way around. Otherwise, it is amazing. Birds are great. We missed the migration but still saw loads of lion, cheetah, hyena (including one striped), rhino, elephant, and loads of other good stuff. Won't let you down. If you've got the money, stay at one of the swank lodges in the middle of the park and go on a hot air balloon.

What can I say. We've been through the Mara on three different occasions at three different times of the year at three different lodges. Spectacular animal viewing, excellent lodges or camps to stay at. A MUST SEE !!
For me this is the best wildlife park in the world. We were here for three weeks during the migration and saw something new and amazing each day. The Masai people at Riverside Camp were very hospitable and kind. Loved every moment.

- but it was worth it to have a guide here since I wasn't well educated about the wildlife and it was my first time to Africa. I hope to visit this reserve again, as well as others in the region, and would like to do a walking safari. Our group's focus was on The Big Five and other large mammals so I didn't feel comfortable rating birding. I did see a number of pretty cool birds just by chance! Four days wasn't enough...I want to spend 4 months out here!

Lots and lots of wild animals, maybe the one with most wildlife of all parks. The landscape is savanna and not that varied. This is the most visited park and you sometimes find almost traffic jams around the animals. Then again it's a big park and you could sometimes go for quite some time without running into other tourists.
