The western and eastern borders of the park feature the Oloololo Escarpment and the Loita Hills respectively. Northern continuation of the Serengeti national park in Tanzania, Masai Mara has a large concentration of game including large predators like lions, leopards, cheetah, jackals, plains game and a huge variety of birds, and is one of the few national parks/reserves in Kenya to see the "Big Five" - Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard

The Masai Mara lies in the Great Rift Valley, which is a fault line some 3,500 miles (5,600km) long, from Ethiopia's Red Sea through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and into Mozambique. Here the valley is wide and a towering escarpment can be seen in the hazy distance. Most of the game viewing activities occur on the valley floor, but some lodges conduct walking tours outside the park boundaries in the hills of the Oloololo Escarpment. The animals are also at liberty to move outside the park into huge areas known as 'dispersal areas'. There can be as much wildlife roaming outside the park as inside. Many Masai villages are located in the 'dispersal areas' and they have, over centuries, developed a synergetic relationship with the wildlife.

There are four main types of topography in the Mara: Ngama Hills to the east with sandy soil and leafy bushes liked by black rhino; Oloololo Escarpment forming the western boundary and rising to a magnificent plateau; Mara Triangle bordering the Mara River with lush grassland and acacia woodlands supporting masses of game especially migrating wildebeest; Central Plains forming the largest part of the reserve, with scattered bushes and boulders on rolling grasslands favoured by the plains game

The Crocodile and hippo infested Mara River is a major Attractions of the park

The ecosystem of the Mara is unique as large open grass plains are soaked by permanent rivers (Mara, Talek and Sand River) which provide different habitats including plains, riverine forests, swamps and beautiful sceneries.

The highlight of the Mara is the great migration of wildebeest and zebra coming from the Serengeti in search of lush grass - watching millions of gnus crossing in mass the deadly Mara river is fascinating.

Masai Mara is world famous for its abundance of wildlife and its unique ecosystem. The big cats seen in the park are lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Lions are often found in large prides and it's not uncommon to see them eating prey early in the morning. Elephant, buffalo, and hippo roam in large herds as well as the topi, impala, zebra and Coke's hartebeest who are also abundant.
