Superb game-viewing and migration scenes!
Home to an excellent year-round concentration of safari viewing.
Situated in the southwest of Kenya, covering an area of 1 510 square km (583 square miles), the Masai Mara National Park is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife and endless plains.
It has unfenced borders with a number of private conservancies, including Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This vast protected landscape is one of the top wildlife destinations in Africa, and Kenya’s flagship conservation area.
Game viewing in the Masai Mara is excellent all year around thanks to the diverse population of resident game but from July to November one of nature’s greatest spectacles, the Wildebeest Migration, reaches the Mara – the sheer number of wildebeest arriving in the area is staggering. The migration is a dramatic mass movement of almost two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle in a seasonal annual cycle driven by rainfall. To reach the Mara’s fresh grazing, wildebeest make dramatic river crossings, facing enormous crocodiles to feast on the Mara plains and regain their strength. It truly is a bucket-list experience to witness.
