In the Maa language, which the Maasai people who originally inhabited the region speak, the word "Mara" means "spotted." It alludes to how, when viewed from a distance, the Mara is speckled with acacia trees, craters, and indentations. A variety of animals include elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, hyena, and the Mara's renowned big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah, find refuge in the expanse of its vast plains, which resemble an oasis. And every year, from around July to November, its savannah offers food for herds of wildebeest of spectacular proportions.
The Masai Mara National Reserve, located in the southwest of Kenya, has a total area of 1,510 square kilometres (583 square miles). It is home to an abundance of species and unending plains. Together with migratory wildebeest and zebra, the reserve is a photographer and naturalist's dream with its abundance of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion, and cheetah. Leopards are commonly seen, endangered black rhino hide in dense undergrowth, and the Mara River is home to huge crocodiles and rafts of hippopotamuses. Almost 450 different bird species can be found in the park.
Best Time to Visit
The best time of year to go is between late July and October if you want to see the Great Wildebeest Migration and the exciting Mara River crossings. The precise dates will vary from year to year since factors like rainfall can significantly change how quickly and how far the migration moves over the Serengeti.
In addition, the Masai Mara is well known for being a fantastic safari location the entire year. You may go at any time, whether it's the wet or dry season, and still have a great chance of seeing the storied Big 5 and the park's numerous other residents.
