Predator country
Masai Mara Luxury Safari from the USA
The Masai Mara is Kenya's most celebrated wilderness — golden plains, abundant big cats and, from July to October, the spectacle of the Great Migration.
Overview
Why the Masai Mara is the benchmark safari
The Mara is a vast, open ecosystem where wildlife is abundant and easy to see, supporting exceptional densities of lion, cheetah and leopard.
A well-planned Mara safari balances the legendary reserve with quieter private conservancies that border it.
- World-class predator viewing year-round
- The Great Migration from July to October
- Reserve plus low-density conservancies
- Quick bush flights from Nairobi
Planning from the USA
When to visit and how to get there
July to October brings the Migration and superb dry-season viewing; January to March offers warm conditions and excellent big-cat sightings with fewer visitors. We time your stay and position your camps around your US flights.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
What is the best time to visit the Masai Mara?
July to October for the Great Migration and dry-season game viewing, or January to March for warm weather and excellent big-cat sightings with fewer crowds.
How do I get to the Masai Mara from the USA?
Fly to Nairobi, then take a 45-minute bush flight to a Mara airstrip. We arrange the connection around your international arrival.
Should I stay in the reserve or a conservancy?
Conservancies offer more privacy and flexible activities. Many itineraries combine both, and we advise based on your priorities.
Will I see the Great Migration?
River crossings are dramatic but not guaranteed. The herds are present roughly July to October, and we time and position your stay to maximize your chances.
