Maasai Mara Game Reserve is the classic safari destination of East Africa. Maasai Mara Game Reserve is known for its unrivaled sightings of the “big five’ as well as being one of the two locations on the planet that hosts massive wildebeest migration which takes place every year between the months of July- September, one of the most amazing wildlife experiences. The picturesque crossing of the Mara River is an adventure to write home about. From the month of October, the migration starts heading back to Serengeti National Park. Take note, although the sequence of the wildebeest movement is well known, the exact timing of the migration is unpredictable as animals essentially follow the rain looking for emerging lush pastures
