This is the park with the most wildlife in Kenya. It's a huge area and that makes it a more "wild experience" without any fences in sight. Although it get's lots of visitors, you rarely feel disturbed by other tour groups. We got to see all the big five as well as lots of other wildlife. We came close up to a huge group of elephants, got to see several lions with cubs, cheetas hunting, Masai Giraffe, Pumbaas, Hyenas, Gazelles etc etc. The landscape is mostly Savanna with an Acacia tree every now and then.

What else is there to say? The 'daddy' of safari destinations with lots and lots of wildilfe spolit only slightly but quite a lot of safari vehicles, which is understandble.

As our driver said: this is the real safari! We were there for the migration, so there were zebra and wildebeest as far as the eye could see. Tough to get to, but well worth the trip.

Maasai Mara is the epitome of an African Safari. You have every typical African grassland animal you could want to see, a vast expanse of land protected land, and indigenous tribes of people who still live in their traditional way. We went to meet some of them and see their village, which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/p8wUKAiRai4
Maasai Mara has it all. Hands down.

An amazing place to get close to wildlife
Of all the parks we visited in a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania, we saw the most Lions in Maasai Mara, many that were very close to our vehicle. You can go off the roads to get closer to the animals, which you can't do at other parks, making this a must-see destination.

An experience not to be missed
The Masai Mara is not just a feeding ground along the great migration, it's a scene taken from the pages of earth's majestic hot spots. Not only does the beautiful scenery go on forever making you see--maybe for the first time--just how big and wonderful our planet is, but you also get to be part of the animal kingdom in ways you've never imagined. As our driver turned a corner here and there another species of animal, bird, reptile, and plant came into view. A pride of lions nursing their cubs, giraffes eating from tall acacia trees, elephants on their way to the water, a cheetah getting up from a nap and walking so close to our jeep I could touch him, wildebeest as far as the eye can see--some battling for supremacy, hyenas snatching a leg from a carcass where vultures were having a last snack...so much and so wonderful. The hippos and crocs, and birds and lizards, and warthogs and monkeys were all so entertaining as well. If you don't know God yet, you'll get pretty close to Him on the Mara.

you can, splurge more on hiring a land cruiser than a tour van when planning to tour Masai Mara. once you get to the rough roads, that's when you really appreciate the 4wd.
