Wildebeest Migration Adventure
SAFARI HIGHLIGHTS
This safari to the famous Masai Mara will give you a great opportunity to experience the annual migration extravaganza of millions of wildebeest and a host of other wild animals including the “Big Five” at first hand. This year, the great migration started unusually early June, which is fantastic because it’s low season, hence cheaper to experience this adventure.
The Mara Mara National Reserve is a spectacular expanse of open grassland which covers 1,510 km² in the south-west corner of Kenya. The tree-lined Mara River has a healthy population of hippos and crocodiles. The crocodiles are most active during the Mara River crossings of the great migration.
Notably, Wildlife roams freely throughout the vast Masai Mara Ecosystem. There are no boundaries or fences to obstruct the movement and migration of animals. The Masai Mara of Kenya and the Serengeti of Tanzania form a continuous and seamless ecosystem and jointly host the annual spectacle of the migration.

AFRICAN EXPERIENCE
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will & it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.” -Beryl Markham
