Masai Mara Walking Tour
Masai Mara, Kenya
Why Walk Masai Mara
The Masai Mara National Reserve covers 580 square miles of rolling grassland and acacia woodland in southwestern Kenya, forming the northern extension of the Serengeti ecosystem. It is renowned for the Great Migration, when roughly 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra cross the Mara River between July and October. The reserve has one of the highest densities of lions in Africa and is home to the semi-nomadic Maasai people.
