Have been three times in different regions of the park which all felt and looked different as far as scenery, and numbers and types of wildlife and habitats. Not to be missed. The only negatives with this park can be congestion of safari vehicles at locations of big 5 animals, aggressive drivers disobeying park regulations by driving off-road, getting to close, and disturbing animals and cutting other vehicles off who were there previously in order to get their clients close enough to snap pics with their point and shoot cameras and smart phones. Another negative I just thought of—at a certain lodge that I stayed at about eight years ago there were nightly hyena feeding shows where the lodge put kitchen scraps out to entertain the guests. Disturbing, since this reminded me of when Yellowstone National Park had bear feeding shows which was banned over a half century ago.
It was amazing and something that I will never forget!
We had an awesome time and the weather was perfect. We saw lots of animals and were surprised at how many
animals we were able to get close to. Our guides were wonderful and found great spots to view the animals. We had lunch out in the Mara and that was a cool experience. We were pleased with the overall safari and scenery too.

The Masai Mara was the highlight of the Kenyan portion of our safari. The wildlife was unparalleled, from lions, cheetah, leopards, zebras, elephants, hippos, rhinos, impalas, gazelles, wildebeest, an amazing variety of birds, and several other animals. The scenery was breathtaking, and we never tired of driving through the park taking in all of the amazing animals and locations. We also visited a Masai village, and that was remarkable. We stayed at the Mara Leisure Camp, and that was very nice as well - the "tents" were amazing - yes they were canvas tents, but the size of the rooms and bathrooms rivaled any lodge we stayed in during our trip. The food was very good. I highly recommend it.

Perfect safari destination with exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. The vastness of the area meant that we rarely saw other safari vehicles. If we went back, we would definitely stay there for at least three nights to make the most of the wildlife viewing opportunities.

I don't have to say much about Masai Mara. It is the perfect safari experience and is good in all aspects. Spend as much time as possible here. Preferably end your safari trip in Masai Mara. Stay in a resort that in inside the gate of the park.

A vast landscape with piles of bones a reminder of the circle of life. We followed vultures to a kill and eventually to the cheetah mother who took down the wildebeest for her cubs. Warthogs were comic relief. Lazy hippos and crocodiles in the river, a tawny eagle near our picnic spot. And yes, lions. A bit too many vans, some get too close to the wildlife for their comfort or ours.
