The Maasai Mara composition
The Mara Triangle and Masai Mara National Reserve are two natural reservoirs that make up what is known as the greater Masai Mara ecosystem, together with a number of smaller private conservancies and some Masai settlements that are situated close to the parks. They are situated close to the Tanzania-Kenya border, 255 kilometres which is approximately around 5–6 hours drive by road south-west of Nairobi. In reality, the Serengeti National Park is bordered by the Masai Mara, and you could argue that despite being in different countries, they share the same habitat.
Consider how many days you want to spend in the national reserve, where you want to stay, and the kinds of activities you want to engage in before you travel to Masai Mara. Your vacation to Masai Mara will cost much more as a result of these choices.
However, it is great to be aware of your alternatives whether you are doing a group trip, a private safari, or travelling alone and self-driving.
The Masai Mara’s largest part is where the park’s greatest number of animals are found. It is essentially a must-stop if you want to see the best of Masai Mara, and no matter when you visit, it will never disappoint. Large herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and lions are to be expected.
