This article provides an insight into the Maasai Mara National Reserve entry fees as of 2025. It is one of the most popular parks in Africa.
The 1,510 km2 game reserve is located in the southwestern part of Kenya along the Great Rift Valley. Unlike most parks in Kenya that are managed by KWS, the Maasai Mara is administered by the Narok County government.
The Maasai Mara is a world-renowned destination for experiencing the spectacular wildebeest migration. The great migration occurs from July to October. Apart from the wildebeest migration, the park is home to the Big Five. These magnificent animals include lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinoceroses.
