About Masai Mara

Safarilink operates flights to and from the Maasai Mara, stopping at any of the eight major airstrips passengers require. Passengers returning from Amboseli, Kapese, Kilimanjaro, Lewa, Lodwar, Loisaba, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Samburu and Tsavo West can connect directly to Safarilink's afternoon flight to the Maasai Mara.

The most famous wildlife area in Kenya, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is known not only for the annual great migration, but for year-round exceptional and abundant wildlife. Over 100 mammal species are found here, including the Big Five, and over 450 bird species. Game viewing here is second to none.

The Maasai Mara, designated a national reserve in 1974, is part of the greater Serengeti Mara ecosystem, formed of the Serengeti in Tanzania, the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the surrounding conservancies and group ranches. It is through this ecosystem, an area of around 40,000km², that around 1.5 million wildebeest, along with Thomson's gazelles, zebras and eland, move in a perpetual circuit known as the great migration.

The reserve's name comes from the Maasai, a nomadic Nilotic people famed as warriors, and Mara, meaning mottled in the language of the Maasai, a reference to the savannah plains speckled with riverine forests, mountain ridges and natural springs.

Activities: Game drives, balloon safaris, game walks (in conservancies), visits to local Maasai villages for cultural experiences.
