Kenya Masai Mara The Masai Mara forms the northernmost point of the 1,000km Great Migration round circuit with the most concentration between August and October. The Mara River proves a tricky obstacle and is the scene of frenzied crossings as the animals move into the Masai Mara for the lush grazing on offer during the summer, before turning southwards once more in November back into the Serengeti. In terms of game viewing the Masia Mara tends to benefit from its more compact size in comparison to the vastness of the Serengeti bringing the animals into a tighter mass. Even so it still covers an area of 580 square miles (1,510 sq km) and is the jewel in the crown of Kenya’s network of game reserves. The Masai Mara is a portion of the larger Mara Ecosystem which includes a surrounding belt of private concessions and protective ranches, all of whom work together recognising the significance of protecting the wilderness and wildlife that live in the region. When planning a safari to Kenya, a stay in the Mara is always recommended. 8
