Offering an unrivalled safari experience, the Maasai Mara Game Reserve is a free wheeling wilderness extravaganza bursting with raw, untamed energy. Possibly the most well known and well visited of all of Kenya's national parks, it is also home to the Big Five - and occasionally, the Hollywood jet set, the location featuring in countless movies, including "Out Of Africa."
Heart-racing excitement is never in question on any Maasai Mara safari, but from July to September the pace edges up a notch or two, with the opportunity to view the great annual migration. An atmospheric sight, herds of Wildebeest come charging through from the Serengeti, crossing the Mara River - many of them taken down in the Crocodile infested waters.
Predators are abundant and Lion sightings are incredibly common, as are opportunities to view all of the Big Five, so you can be assured of an exceptional safari. A third the size of the Serengeti, the game reserve is also a permanent source of water, so even travelling out of season is an option, making the Maasai Mara a great all year round game viewing destination.
You can go wild in the Mara and safari with the Big Five on Acacia Adventure Holidays' 13-day Kenya & Tanzania Adventure - an overland expedition that gets right to the heart of the animal kingdom.
