Maasai Mara National Reserve
Mejor época para visitar
July through October, the dry season, brings the fabled river crossings when wildebeest funnel toward the Mara River. Early morning game drives offer the coolest temperatures and the most active predators.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Non-resident entry runs about $80 per adult for a 24-hour pass, with children at roughly half price. Staying in budget campsites just outside the gates, around Talek, cuts lodging costs while keeping you minutes from the action.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Alrededor de 1,5 millones de ñus, 200.000 cebras y 500.000 gacelas de Thomson retumban por esta sabana durante la migración anual. La densidad de depredadores aquí es descomunal, con más de 4.000 leones compartiendo la llanura con leopardos y guepardos.
Destacados: En los cruces del río Mara, miles de ñus se lanzan al agua donde cocodrilos de 4 metros esperan el momento exacto en que una manada duda. Acampa cerca del río y quizás oigas los rugidos guturales de una manada de 12 leones resonando por la llanura al anochecer.
Consejos de expertos
- Book dawn game drives that leave before 6:30 AM, the golden hour when predators finish their night hunts and vehicles stay scarce.
- For the best photographic angle of the migration, position yourself near the Mara River crossing points around Lookout Hill before 9 AM.
- Wear muted earth tones, a wide-brimmed hat, and layered clothing, since dawn starts near 12 degrees Celsius while afternoons push past 30.
- Skip the midday drive between noon and 4 PM, when heat sends lions to the shade and most animals disappear.
