From almost July to November, one of the nature greatest spectacles reaches the Masai Mara. The herds of the wildebeest are so huge that they can be observed from space! The migration is a dramatic mass movement with around 1.2 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelle in this seasonal annual cycle that happens to be the 8th wonder of the world. To reach Maras fresh grazing from the Tanzania Serengeti’s National Park they must take the dramatic river crossings facing enormous danger of predators from the water to the land. Here are some exceptional highlights for this safari.
- Spend your nights in accommodation facilities that have easy access to the river crossing points.
- Enjoy the vistas from an aerial view of a hot air balloon as the migration unfolds.
- Stay in a private conservancy to escape the crowds and have the luxury to enjoy activities that are restricted in the national reserve like night drives and nature walks.
Kindly Note: Accommodation during this season of the year is occupancy driven more so those well situated {During High season June to October} hence availability is limited. If you want to snap up the front row seats for the action-packed safari, you should book your safari at least a year in advance.

For a perfect situation to see the most majestic of journeys in the flesh. Book as soon as you know you want to go- don’t procrastinate! Lodges and camps are small and fill up very quickly.
