Great Wildebeest Migration

The vast plains of East Africa are the setting for the world's greatest wildlife spectacle - the Great Annual Migration. From the endless Serengeti plains in Tanzania to the hills of Kenya's Masai Mara, millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle migrate in a clockwise fashion each year in search of rain ripened grass. As the Migration is a natural event, it is important to note that the timing varies month by month, and year by year.

Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's premier wildlife park. It is Kenya's most popular park because it is relatively small yet it hosts an amazing concentration of wildlife. You are almost guaranteed to see the Big 5. The best time to visit the Masai Mara is between July and October when the wildebeest and zebra are at their highest number and offer plenty of food for lions, leopards and cheetahs.
