You can't in good conscience say you've seen Africa without being on safari in the Masai Mara.

Masai Mara Reserve it is one of the most wonderful places in Africa and the perfect place for an African safari. The reserve is located in western Kenya, on the border with Tanzania, and stretches for 1510 km². Most of this area is vast grassy savanna plains, with only occasional umbrella-shaped acacias or sparse thickets. Masai Mara attracts tourists thanks to the greatest spectacle titled "The Great Animal Migration". Every year in this region of Kenya, from the end of July to October, you can admire huge herds of animals (approximately 2,5 million - including herds of wildebeest) arriving from the nearby Serengeti plain and crossing the Mara River, swollen after the May rains. This is an amazing phenomenon that attracts African lovers. When traveling to luxurious lodges located on private land, you have the incredible certainty of observing this spectacle in intimate company, without crowds of tourists. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing this performance during a hot air balloon flight over the Masai Mara.

When to see the Great Migration in Kenya?

The best time for a safari in Kenya is from July to August, when millions of animals cross the Mara River heading north. This river crossing is one of the most dangerous moments of the migration, when crocodiles hidden in the water lie in wait for the wildebeest.
