The Masai Mara National Reserve is an extraordinary wilderness travel destination in south-western Kenya that offers an ideal climate and exceptional year-round game viewing. Also popularly called the `Mara’, it is renowned for delivering exceptional big cat – lion, leopard, cheetah – sightings. Cheetahs particularly are well adapted to the region’s flat plains and Mara ranks high as one of the best places to see these lighting fast nimble predators. They often seek vantage points on fallen trees, termite mounds, and even game drive vehicles! It’s a highlight of any safari here to watch the world’s fastest land mammal chase down its prey, from your window seat.
