Where to Stay in the Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is surrounded my conservancies which buffer the park and protect the wildlife. However they too have fantastic wildlife with amazing big cat sightings and all the other species you would expect.

They also benefit from less vehicles and more activities.
