Discover Maasai Mara: A Safari Adventure with Trade Wings
Nestled in the heart of Kenya’s Narok County, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Spanning over 1,500 square kilometers, it forms part of the larger Serengeti ecosystem and is globally renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration and abundant sightings of Africa’s Big Five—lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard.
Best Time to Visit Maasai Mara
July to October: Peak season to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains and rivers in search of greener pastures.
June to August: Mild daytime temperatures (around 25°C) and cool nights make it perfect for game viewing.
March to May: Calmer and quieter months ideal for bird watching and budget travel, with occasional short rains.
Things to Do in Maasai Mara
• Game Drives
Explore the savannah in open-roof vehicles with experienced guides and enjoy close-up encounters with lions, elephants, cheetahs, and more. Morning and afternoon drives offer different wildlife experiences.
• Hot Air Balloon Safari
Float above the endless plains at sunrise and witness the landscape and wildlife from the sky—a surreal and unforgettable experience.
• Conservancy Safaris
Venture into lesser-known conservancies like the Mara Triangle, Olare Motorogi, and Mara North. These areas offer exclusive game viewing, off-road drives, night safaris, and walking trails—away from crowds.
• Walking Safari
Step out of the vehicle and experience the wilderness on foot, guided by Maasai trackers. Discover smaller creatures, plants, and the art of animal tracking.
• Cultural Visits
