The Mara Triangle
Best Guide For Planning A Custom Mara Triangle Safari
The Mara Conservancy at Your Own Pace...
The Mara Triangle – This is one of the most spectacular and least visited sectors of the the greater Masai Mara National Reserve.
Situated in southwestern Kenya and responsibly managed by the Mara Conservancy on behalf of Trans-Mara County Council, the Mara Triangle covers the westernmost part of the Masai Mara ecosystem and is bounded by the Mara River, the Oloololo Escarpment, and the Serengeti National Park.
The Mara Triangle is renowned for its excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), as well as the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River typically between July and October.
The Mara Triangle’s management focuses on conservation and minimal human impact, resulting in well-maintained roads, fewer safari vehicles, and exceptional wildlife viewing experiences.
Guests to the Mara Triangle can enjoy unlimited high quality guided wildlife safaris, hot air balloon rides, and cultural indulgenc with the Maasai community, all within a stunning landscape that epitomizes the African wilderness historical and nature’s best kept secrets.
About the Mara Triangle
At around 240 square kilometres and situated between the Mara River and the western Oloololo Escarpment, this substantial reserve is particularly scenic, with lovely open plains and acacia forests set against the dramatic backdrop of the Oloololo section of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment.
Its plains are home to a rich array of wildlife, including zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, impalas and elands. These mega herds are accompanied by the usual predators, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, spotted hyenas and jackals.
Along the banks of the Mara River itself there are substantial stands of riverine forest, which is home to animals such as buffaloes, hippos, elephants and Olive baboons. The forests are also home to the rare black rhinos in the area.
During the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Mara Triangle along with the Mara Confluence area on the opposite side of the Mara River are probably the best area for migration river crossings during the July-October while during the dry season, the crocodiles normally dominate the action.
Luxury Safaris Par Excellence
Let our experts help you to weave a lifetime Mara Conservancy Custom Luxury Safari
Unlike the much larger Maasai Mara National Reserve across the Mara River to the east, the Mara Triangle is a locally administered conservation area and attracts a hefty additional park fee. The two sides of the river are connected by just two bridges, in the extreme north and south, but very few people are prepared to pay the double park fees to access both reserves.
Whilst this side of the Mara is generally considered to be rather higher quality, with a high proportion of quality lodges, it still remains a busy safari area, traffic avoidance by planning and booking in advance must remain a priority while considering a visit to the Mara Triangle.
