By far the most visited park in Kenya, the world famous Maasai Mara National Park is a northern extension of Tanzania's Serengeti Plains. Covering an area of just over 1600 square kilometers, the park's rolling plains is home to Kenya's Big Five as well as thousands upon thousands of plains game, and a visit at any time of the year is guaranteed to yield excellent viewing results. During the migration months of August to November, over a million wildebeest crowd the Mara offering the visitor one of the world's most unforgettable experiences.

Accommodation is plentiful and varied ranging from basic tented camps where visitors remain almost at one with nature, to top rated five star camps and lodges designed to recreate the same sense of easy luxury as existed during the old hunting safari days of the rich and famous.
