Masai Mara Game Reserve is one of the best known and important wildlife conservation and wilderness areas in Africa. The Mara is magnificent, home to Kenya’s richest concentration of wildlife and regarded by many travelers as an essential stop on any tour of Africa. When travelers think of Africa and safari, this is place they imagine – golden grassland plains pocked with acacia, wildebeests, zebras, lions and jackals bound together by the cycle of life and death. Maasai Mara is also best known for the annual wildebeest migration which unfolds between the months of July-October, as large herds of over a million plus wildebeest migrate north into Masai Mara from the neighboring Serengeti National Park located in Tanzania, crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River on the way. The perilous crossing is an iconic moment of the migration capturing the attention of wildlife enthusiast the world over.
