The Greater Masai Mara region encompasses the Masai Mara National Reserve—an unfenced area where wildlife roams freely—as well as several surrounding conservancies. These conservancies are privately owned by Maasai families, who lease their land to safari lodges. In return, the income generated allows these families to reinvest in their communities, supporting initiatives such as education and local development.

It’s not uncommon to spot Maasai herders with their cattle grazing within the conservancies, reflecting the ongoing coexistence between traditional livelihoods and conservation efforts. The establishment of these conservancies has proven to be mutually beneficial: land that was once overgrazed is now being restored to its natural state, while the Maasai benefit economically and socially from their involvement. This model has helped promote both environmental restoration and community empowerment across the region.

Each year from July to October, the Masai Mara sets the stage for one of nature’s most awe-inspiring events—the Great Migration. It's a truly astonishing sight: vast herds of over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes sweeping across the sun-scorched savannah as they journey from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing land and water.
