The Maasai Mara
Itinerary

The Maasai Mara is often visited as part of a longer safari in Kenya, Northern Tanzania or as an add-on trip to gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. In Kenya, combining the Maasai Mara with parks such as Amboseli and Samburu offers a safari filled with diverse scenery and wildlife. We recommend flying in and out of the Maasai Mara to save time.

Mapping The Wildebeest Migration
The largest mammal migration in the world. Witness massive game herds and the predators that follow them.
The Great Migration is an annual event, an endless march of life, birth and death for millions of animals. It is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World. Each year, nearly two million wildebeest, zebra, and other antelope gather their young, and trek north from Tanzania's Southern Serengeti ecosystem to Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve. They search for greener pastures, following the rainfall. The Great Migration is a unique happening as no other migrations feature such a high number of wildlife, except perhaps butterflies and smaller birds.
