The Masai Mara is one of the most famous nature reserves in the world and without a doubt the highlight of any safari in Kenya. Famous for its annual migration, called the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the southern Serengeti in Tanzania to the plains of the Masai Mara. The animals follow the rainfalls on a continuous search for greener pastures.
Predators closely follow the herds, lurking in the shadows, quietly waiting… Amongst them you will find lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. With a little bit of luck, you might even experience the thrill of the hunt. An experience not easily forgotten.
The Mara offers superb wildlife viewing year-round. With the best will in the world, you can never be sure of coinciding your few days in the Mara with the crossing and taking this sought-after picture of a crocodile having a frantic wildebeest in its jaws. Expect to pay exorbitant prices for the Mobile Camps that congregate near the river crossing, and to see plenty of other safari vehicles lined up.
