Maasai Mara
Kenya's flagship reserve — lions, cheetahs and endless savannah.
About Kenya
The great safari — lions, elephants and the Maasai Mara
Kenya is where the safari was born — the rolling savannah of the Maasai Mara teeming with lions, the elephants of Amboseli framed by Kilimanjaro, and the thundering river crossings of the Great Migration.
Track the Big Five on dawn game drives, meet the proud Maasai, drift over the plains in a hot-air balloon, then unwind on the white sands of the Indian Ocean coast — Africa at its most iconic.
Local Culture
Kenya's culture spans more than 40 ethnic communities, most famously the Maasai with their red shukas, beadwork and adumu jumping dance. Swahili coastal heritage, a deep connection to wildlife and land, and warm hospitality (karibu) define the nation.
