The Great Wildebeest Migration
One of the biggest reasons travelers choose Masai Mara migration safaris is the annual movement of enormous herds through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.
The wider ecosystem is internationally recognized for its seasonal movement of wildebeest, zebra and other grazing animals.
During the migration season, travelers may witness dramatic scenes across the Mara landscape, including large herds crossing rivers and predators taking advantage of the abundance of prey.
However, the Masai Mara is not only a migration destination.
Wildlife viewing can be rewarding throughout the year, making a Masai Mara wildlife safari an excellent choice even outside the peak migration period.
What Wildlife Can You See in the Masai Mara?

- Interested in birds?
- Your guide can focus on bird-rich areas.
- Traveling with children?
We can create a more comfortable family-friendly pace.
