The prime destination to witness the majesty of the Great Migration, the Mara (as it’s commonly known) is one of Kenya’s most visited cultural and natural hotspots. The Great Migration is a vital part of the ultimate safari experience, as millions of wildebeest, zebra, antelopes and gazelles make their annual trek across the Serengeti. The largest mammal relocation on the planet, the Great Migration is an epic journey that showcases nature’s magnificence and is one of the most sought-after experiences for nature enthusiasts. Touted as ‘the greatest show on earth’, it’s understandable why tourists flood from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara between July and October each year.

Even outside of this period, visitors are still likely to find The Big Five on their guided driving safaris, hot air balloon trips, or fly camping adventures.
