Welcome to the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and the annual Great Migration, the Masai Mara offers an unparalleled safari experience. At Orel Safaris, we pride ourselves on providing safe, authentic, and enriching adventures, guided by local experts who bring the magic of the Mara to life.
Why the Masai Mara?
Unmatched Wildlife Encounters
The Masai Mara is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. The Mara is a wildlife enthusiast's paradise from the majestic Big Five—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes—to cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and countless other species. Witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of greener pastures, braving crocodile-infested rivers along the way.
Stunning Landscapes
The Masai Mara’s landscapes are as diverse as its wildlife. Rolling savannahs, acacia-dotted plains, and riverine forests create a picturesque backdrop for your safari adventure. Sunrise and sunset over the Mara are simply magical, painting the sky in hues of gold and orange and casting a serene glow over the land.

Planning Your Masai Mara Safari
Best Time to Visit
The Masai Mara is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your interests. The dry season, from July to October, is ideal for witnessing the Great Migration. However, the Mara is teeming with wildlife throughout the year, and each season offers its own unique experiences.
What to Pack
When preparing for your Masai Mara safari, pack light, comfortable clothing suitable for both warm days and cool evenings. Sturdy walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent are essential. Don’t forget your binoculars and a good camera to capture the incredible sights. For more detailed packing tips, refer to our article on Nairobi National Park.
