We booked our trip to Maasai Mara National Reserve with Ahambi Tours, and I have to say we enjoyed every moment of our safari. The reserve has all that it takes for a Safari in Africa. A visit to the Maasai village was very nice, especially the dance. If you love wildlife Masa Mara is the place to be and make sure you have a high-end camera. I highly recommend it.

Reposting this review, because for some reason it was published with just 3 stars rather than 5. This was definitely the best park we saw in Kenya Each of the parks we went we went to have their own strengths and if you have the time you should probably try to get to at least 3 however if you want sheer size and cross section of animals, you probably can't go past the Mara. We saw more animals here than anywhere else in Kenya. more lions, more leopards, more cheetahs, more giraffe, more hippo, more wildebeest and antelope, more zebra. Plus plenty of elephants, buffalo, hyena, vultures, jackal, eagles and other raptors. probably the only one of the big 5 that are rare are black rhino...we saw one only. The scenery is unbelievable, with stunning sunrises and sunsets, the river is full of hippo and crocodile, we saw the lions actually hunting and bringing down prey, baboons everywhere, and an unbelievable array of birdlife. It really is the must do in Kenya.

Our visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya was an absolute must-see. The reserve is vast and very nice, offering a breathtaking landscape and diverse wildlife. We were fortunate to witness a variety of animals, with an abundance of lions and lionesses, a rare sighting of a leopard, as well as ostriches, hippos, and meerkats. The richness of its wildlife of the reserve left an indelible mark on our memories. A highlight was the unforgettable picnic right in the heart of the savannah, creating a surreal and immersive experience. Our trip to Masai Mara was seamlessly organized as part of a circuit booked with Monkey Adventures. The guides provided expert knowledge, enhancing our understanding of the ecosystem and the behaviors of the wildlife. For anyone considering a safari in Kenya, the Masai Mara National Reserve is a must-visit destination. We highly recommend Monkey Adventures for their excellent planning and execution of our trip, making it a truly exceptional and memorable experience.

My trip was with a beautiful couple. They arrived in Kenya on 11th February and were to spend their valentines in Maasai Mara. I was fortunate to be their guide as I was recommended by a previous client to the couple. On 11th I was able to meet up the couple at JKIA Airport and dropped them off at Kozi Suites Nairobi Hotel where they spent their first night. The next day we went to Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center in the evening. on 13th we transferred to Maasai Mara where they were to spend another 4 nights in Porini Mara Camp. The camp offers amazing scenery and hospitality. Am glad to say that the couple also loved the park from its vast wildlife to the maasai culture and local foods as it was also their first time being in Kenya. On 17th after breakup we were to return to Nairobi but upon request and their approval I was able to take them to Naivasha where we visited Hellsgate National Park for a Day trip: The couple did a bike ride here and at around 2PM we left for Nairobi. 18th they returned to their country having made their vacation cheerful.

My wife and I visited the Masai mara reserve and it turned out to be one of our most memorable safari experiences. The lodges where we stayed were exceptional, and the safari itself was outstanding. We were especially fortunate to have numerous encounters with various wild cats in a single day, including a leopard, two different groups of lions, and cheetahs, along with a plethora of other wildlife. Much of this success can be attributed to our diligent driver/guide, who was excellent at tracking animal movements and catered to our specific interest in spotting wild cats, which we adore. It's worth noting that as of 2024, the park entry fees have increased to $100 during the off-season and $200 in the peak season, so that's something to consider when planning your visit.

I loved the Maasai Mara National Reserve. We saw lionesses hunting prey. We saw a black rhino. We saw so many animals and it was amazing. I could easily go back and spend days driving around. If you come to Kenya, this is a must visit. It is the largest National Park in Kenya and the landscape is stunning. The Weather: We travelled in April 2024 which had more rain than there has ever been in previous years. We were lucky, because the two nights we were there, it rained only at night and we had dry game drives. It was a unique experience and I highly recommend it. I hope to someday visit again.

We always say: Masai Mara (and the Serengeti Tanzania) always deliver. With this we mean that you will always see great wildlife in an amazing setting. The scenery is just breathtaking and so many spots to go to where you still can escape the mass tourism. Our favourite part of the Masai Mara is by far the Mara triangle. Ask your private guide to find a beautiful tree for your lunch and let him check the spot first before you step out of the vehicle. If you have doubts if you like to visit the Masai Mara, my advice would be : just do. Why wait, go to Kenya

The best place to stay in Kenya. Maasai Mara game reserve remains one of the best game reserves to visit while in Kenya. Choose Maasai Mara next time you visit Kenya.

This was a truly magical experience - staying in a lodge right next to the park and hearing the hyenas whilst you walked to the lodge from the main building in the dark (Maasai guide taking us!!) and then waking in the morning to find a herd of zebra walking in front of the lodge. First safari was marked with impala, elephants, wildebeest, giraffe, warthogs and more and best of all 3 lions walking around the van!! Next day added more lions, cheetah, hippos and crocodiles (and we got stuck in a ravine and had to be pulled out!!"). If you go on any safari you should go the Mara. Do be prepared for a LONG drive from Nairobi (up to 7 hours depending on road conditions and traffic (particularly over the Escarpment)) - roads deteriorate significantly as you near the Mara and you can be bouncing over ruts for a good 30-60 minutes. Don't let the travelling there put you off, it is magical and beyond your expectations when you get there.

Maasai Mara is our favorite safari destination, and my guests agree. home to the Big Five and the vibrant Maasai Village. The landscape is everything you need and more, exciting wildlife encounters and rich cultural experiences. Every visit to the Mara is a journey into Kenyas wild beauty.
