The Maasai Mara is the Kenyan section of the Serengeti ecosystem, open grassland with high predator density year-round and the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara river between roughly July and October. Conservancies bordering the reserve limit vehicle numbers and allow night drives and walking. Fly-in from Nairobi takes under an hour.
