The 8th wonder of the world is how the great migration of the wildebeest through the famous Masai Mara national park . Many have come back time and again to witness this mass movement of wild animals through the wilderness, an unparalleled sensation. You have not seen anything like this before. With its vast open plains and crocodile-infested rivers the legendary Masai Mara provides arguably the most dramatic wildlife safari experience on the continent.

The Masai Mara is said to be the best place in Africa for wildlife viewing due to the open plains that make it easier to spot the great herds of animals. Exciting dramas play out when the Wildebeest Migration passes through the Masai Mara for a few months of the year, but even when the herds have gone the Mara is one of the best game viewing areas.

Located in the south-west region of Kenya, 270 kilometres (about 5 hours) from Nairobi is the Masai Mara which boasts an abundance of wildlife all year round, not just during the Great Migration. A safari to the Mara can incorporate five star lodges or luxury permanent tented camps inside the Reserve or if you are on a budget, we can provide safari tents and you can enjoy camping under the stars with the sounds of the wildlife all around.

Each year the Mara plays host to one the world’s greatest natural spectacles, the Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh, life giving grass in the north brings nearly 2 million Wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon.
