“The Mara is a place where we unite with the natural world. This is the most rich, diverse place on earth. It’s full of animals of different species – The biggest and the smallest and in between the mighty.”
— Jackson Looseiya, Tangulia Mara
Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant than the magnificent Masai Mara. Creatures galore roam these sweeping, acacia-dotted plains. And while the Seasonal migration of two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle crossing from the Serengeti is one of Mother Nature’s greatest spectacles, the profusion of wildlife here – from 450 species of bird to the Big Five– makes it one of the best safari spots year round. It is also home to the Maasai people – traditional pastoralists with a proud, strong culture.
With its high concentration of wildlife, and low tourism density, In Mara Naboisho enjoy exceptional wildlife encounters – day and night. The Conservancy is home to the big cats – in impressive numbers, as well as herds of elephant, giraffe, wildebeest, and so much more.
