The Maasai Mara National Reserve (also known as Masai Mara and by the locals as The Mara) is a large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya; contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It is named in honor of the Maasai people (the ancestral inhabitants of the area) and their description of the area when looked at from afar: "Mara," which is Maa (Maasai language) for "spotted," an apt description for the circles of trees, scrub, savanna, and cloud shadows that mark the area.
It is globally famous for its exceptional population of Masai lions, African leopards and Tanzanian cheetahs, and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, known as the Great Migration.
“Our company has been using Forbes Travel for most of our corporate travel in the five years I have been working here. I have found them to be one of the best, if not The Best, travel agencies I have worked with over my many years working in an office. All the agents are extremely friendly and efficient, with a very short turnaround time on flight requests, usually within an hour or two. I have also used their leisure division for my personal travel and would definitely recommend Forbes Travel for corporate and personal travel arrangements.”
