MASAI MARA

When it comes to the best-known game reserve in Kenya and arguably Africa, of course, the Masai Mara is number one. The Masai Mara is a main reserve, surrounded by a number of private concessions. This area is not only a game viewing hotspot, its wide open plains and rolling hills offer spectacular views. A highlight of a stay in the Masai Mara has to be a hot air balloon safari.

The Masai Mara is full of resident game, so don’t be fooled into thinking that people only head there during the famous Migration. Home to the big five and a host of plains game, whenever you choose to travel you will not be disappointed.

Although the times of the migration are never guaranteed, generally the action starts in the Masai Mara around July. The huge herds of wildebeest make their way from the neighbouring Serengeti and as they navigate obstacles in their path (think of those dramatic river crossing images) it is quite a special sight.

This continues until about September when they head back down south and so the annual cycle continues.

With the exception of Mid April through to May, when heavy rains can cause problems, the rest of the year still offers a fantastic safari experience.

Don’t forget November time, when although it is likely you will see short sharp rain showers, it’s a period of re-growth and new life. Many animals make the most of the plentiful grazing and use it as an ideal time to have their young.
