Why Maasai Mara is the World’s Premier Safari Destination

Located in South-Western Kenya, the Maasai Mara covers over 1,500 square kilometers of breathtaking vistas. It is a land of vast open plains, acacia woodlands, and the life-giving Mara River. But what truly sets it apart is the density and diversity of its wildlife.

1. The Great Wildebeest Migration

Recognized as one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World,” the Great Migration is a spectacle like no other. Between July and October, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles trek from the Serengeti into the Maasai Mara. The dramatic river crossings—where crocodiles lie in wait and predators stalk the banks—offer a raw look at the circle of life.

2. The Home of the Big Five

The Mara is one of the few places on earth where you are almost guaranteed to see the Big Five:

• Lion: The Mara is famous for its large prides and “marsh lions.”

• Leopard: Found lurking in the riverine forests.

• Elephant: Giant herds roam the savannah.

• Buffalo: Often seen grazing in the thousands.

• Rhino: Though rare, the black rhino can be spotted in the more secluded thickets.

Seasonal Guide: When to Visit the Mara

At Terra Mare Safaris, we believe there is no “bad” time to visit, but your interests will dictate the best months for your trip.

Peak Season (July to October)

This is the time for the Great Migration. The weather is dry, making it easy to spot animals as they gather around water points. It is the most popular time, so booking in advance with Terra Mare Safaris is highly recommended.

Shoulder Season (November to March)

Also known as the “Green Season,” this is perfect for birdwatchers and photography enthusiasts. The landscapes are lush and vibrant, and the arrival of migratory birds adds a splash of color to the skies. It is also “calving season,” where you can see many young animals being born.

Low Season (April to June)

The rains arrive during this period, turning the Mara into an emerald paradise. While some roads can be tricky, this is the best time for budget-conscious travelers and those who want a more private, exclusive experience away from the crowds.

Planning Your Safari: Frequently Asked Questions
