About MaasaiMara.ke: plan and book your Maasai Mara safari
Everything you need to know about the Maasai Mara National Reserve, and one place to book your safari and your stay
MaasaiMara.ke is all about the Maasai Mara National Reserve as a safari destination. From Narok, Kenya, we cover everything you need to know before you go: park fees and rules, the Great Migration, when to visit, getting there and planning your trip, where to stay, hot air balloon safaris, game drives and guided walks.
When you are ready to travel, we quote and book your safari, with camps and lodges in the Reserve and the conservancies around it, through our authorised, highly rated tour operator partners. Send us your dates by email or through our contact form, and we will come back with a quote.

Which parts of the Maasai Mara can you visit?
The Maasai Mara National Reserve has two parts: the larger eastern side, run by Narok County, and the Mara Triangle west of the Mara River, managed by the Mara Conservancy. Around the Reserve, wildlife conservancies on Maasai community land have their own camps, fees and rules, and offer activities such as guided walks and night game drives.
We cover all of them: which park fees apply where, which areas suit the time of year you travel, and camps and lodges in the Reserve and the conservancies.
