4 Days Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari

Two full-day set aside today for game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. Our morning and afternoon (full day) game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets that make for spectacular photos. More wildlife will be seen in the park leaving you with the option of counting the blessings that nature holds for you as you view them in their natural habitat.

The Mara Reserve covers 1510km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodlands, following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in southwest Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara Park you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffalos, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.

The ultimate action here is without a doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July, August when millions of these grazers move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October for the new life circle to begin after a life-threatening move across the strong jaws of East Africa crocodile found within the mara river and Talek river. The month of your travel (October) is known as wildebeest migration time though you will see lots of wildlife in their Natural settings / Habitats as Maasai mara has been voted one of the best parks with a good percentage of wildlife all the year-round.

As a tour guide, I then recommend two (2) full days in this reserve from mid-June until the end of October as it is amazing and the more nights in Maasai mara the higher chances of viewing the wildebeest migration, though luck is a determining factor for one to witness this stampede. We overnighted at the same camp in a natural setting in Masai Mara on both nights close to the river.
