The Mara Triangle is the most beautiful, lush area of the Masai Mara. Loads of elephants and all types of wildlife without all the land cruiser traffic found in other areas of the Mara.

I grew up in the Mara Triangle many decades before it became a game park. Make sure you get a Maasai safari guide that respects the rules and doesn't drive off the designated roads for your cherished photos. Please be firm with them and tell them you expect them to honor the rules. Driving off the grid tears up the bush and is not respectful to the animals.

Migration and magical nature at its best during this season. We had a wonderful time and couldn’t have more luck to be able to drive to the Mara triangle from Nairobi. The quantity of animals and the dynamic was superb. We feel so fortunate to enjoy such a natural paradise and well kept and guard space.

Hands down the best part of the Mara especially for the wildebeest migration! Not as touristy as the main mara reserve. Africa as it’s always been, untouched beauty as seen in TV. The original safari as the world Knows it!

This is the place you have to be in to get the most amazing views of wildlife. Loads of animals can be seen here in abundance. We were lucky to see lions, cheetah, elephants, zebras, etc. Great place to be in to see animals.

From Lonely Planet guide: “The world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve is a huge expanse of tawny, sun¬burnt grasslands pocked with acacia trees and river woodlands, and heaving with animals great and small. Impressive at any time of year”
It’s really a must but, frankly speaking, since my 1st experience (which was in november 2014), things have dramatically worsened.
There are no rules, no roads and no respect for the animals.
Money is the God. But it's a false God because if KWS doesnt take any serious measures, I feel that predators will die by starvation, because they cant keep hunting if there are 25-30 cars around them.
I do hope I'm getting wrong, sincerely.
No authenticity, no spontaneity, no real contact with nature.
Yes, I saw lions and cheetas but in a way which made me feel like I were at a zoo, and at what price for them!
All was artificial.
Other issue: masai drivers do whatever they want, going off track to destourb animals and see them at closer perspectives.
My driver is not a masai and when he took a track (which was supposed to be off but THERE WAS NO CARTEL), a masai driver followed him and eventually, a ranger car reached the both of us, wanting to fine my driver and not the other one!
Also, wet season worsened the situation because a massive part of the park was off limits and most of the animal were concentrated to a small area.
So a park big 1,500 square km could have been seen and reseen in a day (thats what I’ve been told by my driver).

Thank you for raising this concern,i would kindly like to know which part of the Masai Mara you visited, was it Mara Triangle or the Greater Mara?
We manage the South Western part of Masai Mara which is the Mara triangle (Mara Conservancy). In the Mara Triangle we have professional rangers patrolling using six Suzuki vehicles in various sectors to enforce the park rules.one of our park rules says no more than five vehicles in every sighting and a distance of 25 meters should be maintained between the animals and the vehicles.Our roads are also well maintained by Mara Conservancy.
