Every nature lover dreams of witnessing the Great Migration, and Masai Mara National Reserve is where that dream comes true. Located 228 kilometers from Nairobi, this renowned game park in Kenya hosts a spectacular migration between August and October, when vast herds of wildebeests and zebras brave the Mara River.

The park covers nearly 1,510 square kilometers within the larger Maasai Mara ecosystem and is a prime destination to spot the “Big Five” and hundreds of bird species throughout the year. With both popular river crossings and hidden spots for intimate wildlife encounters, the Masai Mara is one of the most famous game parks in Kenya and an iconic safari destination.
