The Masai Mara Migration is one of nature's most spectacular events in the world.

Visitors should bear in mind that even though the migration is one of Africa's most remarkable displays, the Masai Mara is one of Africa's best wildlife destinations year round.

Every July the wildebeest migrate north in vast numbers from the Serengeti plains in search of fresh pasture, and return south around October - November. The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences nature has to offer, involving an immensity of herbivores: some 1,300,000 wildebeest, 360,000 Thomson's gazelle, and 200,000 zebras. These numerous migrants are followed along their annual circular route by hungry predators, most notably lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
A dangerous barrier for the migratory zebras and wildebeest is the Mara River, with the largest crocodiles found in East Africa. The crossing of the Mara river by these herds is one of the most fabulous times of the Great Migration. It is not rare to find professional photographers, film makers and animal lovers by the Mara river waiting the animals crossing.
