Maasai Mara Nat. Reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve, situated in southwestern Kenya, is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Spanning over 1,500 square kilometres (580 square miles), it is renowned for its vast savannahs, diverse wildlife, and the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. Visitors to the Maasai Mara can enjoy thrilling game drives, hot air balloon safaris, and cultural encounters with the Maasai people. 

The reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs, as well as over 450 bird species. With its stunning landscapes and prolific wildlife sightings, the Maasai Mara Safari offers an unforgettable safari experience in the heart of East Africa.

The Great Annual Migration

For many travellers, reaching the Maasai Mara is an important part of the overall safari experience. While road transfers can provide an opportunity to see the Kenyan countryside, they can also take several hours and may be tiring, particularly after an international flight or when travelling with children. A private charter provides a more convenient alternative. Facil Air can arrange flights according to your itinerary, allowing you to connect from Nairobi or another destination and travel directly towards the Mara.

Flying is particularly useful when your itinerary includes several Kenyan destinations. Instead of returning to Nairobi between safari locations, you can arrange private charter connections that make your journey more efficient.

The Maasai Mara is famous for its extraordinary concentration of wildlife. Visitors can encounter lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras and numerous other species across the reserve and surrounding conservancies.

One of the region's most famous natural spectacles is the Great Migration, when large numbers of wildebeest, zebras and other grazing animals move through the Greater Mara ecosystem.

Beyond game drives, the Mara region offers a range of experiences depending on your lodge or conservancy, including guided nature experiences, cultural encounters and other carefully managed safari activities.

The landscape itself is part of the attraction. Open grasslands provide dramatic views and excellent opportunities for photography, particularly during sunrise and sunset.
