The sun rises over endless golden grass and the silhouette of acacia trees sharp against the horizon — this is the Maasai Mara. On a three-day private safari, travelers move from the Rift Valley escarpment down into wide savannahs where wildebeest and zebra push toward the Mara River and predators wait.

Wildlife
History
The Maasai Mara’s name reflects the Maasai people and the Maasai word for spotted — it became a protected area in the mid-20th century and later part of collaborative conservancies.
Conservation
Many conservancies around the Mara use tourism revenue to fund anti-poaching and community projects; visitors can support by choosing operators that work with local Maasai landowners.
