MAASAI MARA
The Maasai Mara is the northern extension of the Serengeti ecosystem and arguably the most famous wildlife reserve in the world. Renowned for its rolling hills and open savannahs, it hosts the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration. Beyond the migration, the Mara offers year-round consistency for spotting the Big Five and boasts the highest density of lions, leopards, and cheetahs in Africa.
At Maudie Safaris, we navigate the Mara’s popularity by prioritizing stays in the private conservancies bordering the main reserve. This strategy grants you the best of both worlds: access to the main river crossings during the season, combined with the exclusivity of night drives, off-road permits, and walking safaris in low-traffic areas. We ensure you experience the wildlife, not the crowds.
Preserving the Ecosystem
The Mara’s survival relies on the conservancy model, which partners directly with local Maasai landowners. By choosing our partner camps within these conservancies, your visit pays lease fees to local families, incentivizing habitat protection over farming. This creates a critical buffer zone that allows wildlife to thrive while supporting the community.
