The most renowned wildlife destination in Kenya is the Masai Mara National Reserve. It has earned its fame as a safari must-see over many years! The ease of spotting game and the Great Wildebeest Migration makes it a favorite safari destination for most local & global travelers. The game is easy to find here not only because of its numbers but for the flat and open landscape.

What to see in the Masai Mara during wildebeest migration?

Within 10 minutes of leaving the airstrip, you came across a cheetah and her two cubs. Then you can see the lioness and her cubs. At one point during your stay, you are surrounded by a huge herd of buffalo who chased off a skittish lion pride from some prime grazing. You can also see the Maasai giraffe, fast-running striped mongooses, and colorful birds such as grey turaco, lilac-breasted rollers, secretary birds, and grey crowned cranes. They are all part of the wildlife spectacle.

The Mara and especially the conservancy are very rewarding for game drives. The animals move continuously throughout the year in migration. The Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti is different from other migrations because of the huge size of the herds. You can see 1,5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra, 12,000 eland, and 300,000 Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles traveling from southern Serengeti to the Masai Mara. The Big 5 – lion, buffalo, elephant, and leopard are also abundant here, except for the rhino! If you want to see the amazing wildlife then go for our Masai Mara migration safari for at least two to three nights.
