It was amazing to see the big migration, the river crossing, the hunting and killing by wildlife.
The wildlife was abundant, scenery beautiful, weather of late August and early September pleasant. The accommodations were first rate, food fresh and delicious, transportation not too bad despite of rugged road condition. Our guides were very knowledgeable and very professional, proud of their work. The whole trip was adventurous and memorable and has to be one of our best vacation experiences if not the best!

Masai Mara is a must-see for its unrivaled scenic beauty and incredible abundance of wildlife. This park is a marvel of our planet. I hope with all of my heart that poaching and the demand for poaching will be eliminated and that the Masai people can continue to lead their traditional lifestyle while not having a negative impact on their wild animal co-inhabitants.

The most famous national reserve of Kenya
Masai Mara is a great park with loads of wildlife. Lion sightings are basically guaranteed, cheetahs and leopards less so. The park is accessible around the year and more quiet and peaceful ourside the wildebeest migration, busiest months being July-September. Also, if you don't like seeing 20 cars chasing a cheetah, try to avoid going there on Kenyan holidays (esp. Christmas-New Year time), and even better, try to go in the middle of the week, when locals and expats in Kenya stay at work in Nairobi. The Mara Triagle is on the western side of the main park, accesible with the same ticket and more quiet.

An amazing place to get close to wildlife
Of all the parks we visited in a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania, we saw the most Lions in Maasai Mara, many that were very close to our vehicle. You can go off the roads to get closer to the animals, which you can't do at other parks, making this a must-see destination.

Have been both during and after the "great herd migration". Wonderful for both wildlife (all the big 5 plus cheetahs, hippos, and more) and local Masaai village visits. The accommodations were lovely. Don't remember where we stayed the 1st time, but the 2nd was associated with the Fairmont hotels.
Fantastic on an organised safari, hard work on self drive. Lots of relatively cheap tented accommodation on the outside of the park near the gates. Otherwise very expensive. Compared to comparably sized southern African parks the Mara is hard to find your way around. Otherwise, it is amazing. Birds are great. We missed the migration but still saw loads of lion, cheetah, hyena (including one striped), rhino, elephant, and loads of other good stuff. Won't let you down. If you've got the money, stay at one of the swank lodges in the middle of the park and go on a hot air balloon.

Masai Mara is undoubtedly the highlight of the holiday, day after day you can admire the best of the animal kingdom, even with luck you can see lions hunting their prized meal of the day, is where the visitor will see the river crosses the wildebeest, zebras, antelopes and other species, you must pay attention to the river and there alligators also want their chance to take a big bite of the day. sunsets and sunrises are spectacular, it is advisable to take the trip in a balloon across the plains of Masai Mara, I did and was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
It is also advisable to take a raincoat for rain because sometimes the rain comes without warning and suddenly, a jersey in the morning is highly recommended because in the early hours of the day and usually get cold at night too.
