When choosing an incredible safari destination in Africa, the legendary Masai Mara Game Reserve is the most extraordinary of all.
Why take a luxury Masai Mara safari?
Considered to offer the finest, most concentrated wildlife viewing on the entire continent, the iconic Masai Mara Game Reserve is the ideal setting for the ultimate luxury adventure. Home to almost ninety types of mammals and even more bird species, the reserve sprawls across southwest Kenya along the Tanzanian border.
Infinite savannah grasslands swarm with predators and herbivores that thrive in the Mara ecosystem, with sporadic kopjes providing excellent viewing spots for cheetah and topi antelope. The rich plains here are an ideal environment for a fantastic diversity of wildlife, from the Big Five to hippo, giraffe and zebra in abundance.
