Mara Siana Conservancy sits on the eastern edge of the Masai Mara, where rolling hills meet vast plains. Covering over 30,000 acres, it borders the Olare-Motorogi and Ol Kinyei conservancies. The terrain is wild and open, but the experience feels private and exclusive.
Unlike the busy core of the Mara, Mara Siana Conservancy offers peaceful wildlife encounters. Its mission combines community-driven conservation with eco-conscious tourism. Local Maasai families manage the land, creating a strong balance between culture, nature, and responsible tourism.
With fewer vehicles and more space, visitors enjoy intimate safaris in an unspoiled setting. From big cats to rare birds, Mara Siana rewards those who venture off the main trail.
