Masai Mara migration experience with game drives and river crossing chances.
Gallery
Overview
Immerse yourself in the authentic bush experience at the iconic Masai Mara, often referred to as the world’s greatest wildlife theatre. Explore open savannahs, lush riverine forests, and swamps inhabited by multiple lion prides. The Mara River, home to hippos and Nile crocodiles, is central to the ecosystem.
Experience the breathtaking Wildebeest Migration which is a continuous, year-round, 800-1,000 km clockwise journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles, driven by the search for water and nutrient-rich, phosphorus-heavy grass. Guided by instinct and possibly sensing rain, they travel from Tanzania’s Serengeti after calving season to Kenya’s Masai Mara to graze on the lush grasslands.
