Masai Mara Safaris

The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's most celebrated safari destination and the northern extension of Tanzania's Serengeti ecosystem. Its open grassland supports one of the highest concentrations of lions in Africa, along with resident leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and giraffe populations that make Big Five game drives here consistently rewarding.

Between July and October, the Mara hosts the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration, as over a million wildebeest and zebra cross the crocodile-filled Mara River. C.A.T.S Safaris has guided visitors to these crossings for 15 years, running private game drives from both Nairobi and the reserve's own airstrips for guests booking a flight safari.

A Masai Mara safari pairs naturally with other Kenya highlights. Consider extending your trip with Amboseli for elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, or choose one of our extended safaris to combine the Mara with Lake Nakuru in a single circuit.
