Masai Mara One Of The Top 50 Most ‘Instagrammable’ Places In The World!

According to a survey by Travel and media company Big 7 Travel, Kenya’s Masai Mara has earned a spot on the list of Top 50 ‘Instagrammable’ Places In The World, a yearly list that uses a tally of the number of Instagram hashtags per destination, combined with a survey of its users. The final list is then selected based on its visual and social media popularity.

Coming in at 35th, Masai Mara earned more than a staggering million hashtags, with examples such as #masaimara and #masaimaranational park ranking highly amongst others.

Often, reality can’t live up to the saturated hype of Instagram, but that’s far from the case in the Massai Mara. Its 583 sq. miles (1.5 sq. km) sweeping grasslands are home to hundreds of lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, and more. The best way to ensure Insta-worthy snaps is to book onto a reputed reserve tour. 

We agree with that and as safari experts we can curate the most incredible trip to the  Masai Mara, named after the Masai people that inhabit the region and the Mara River which snakes through the reserve. It is home to the world famous ‘big five’ amongst many other species and the area has an amazing concentration of wildlife, particularly when the migratory wildebeest and zebras are grazing on the lush plains from June to October. Surrounding the Masai Mara National Reserve are a number of private conservancies of varying sizes owned by Masai communities.
