The sight of thousands of animals crashing through the waters of the Mara River is, for many, what the Great Wildebeest Migration is all about. To get to the fertile ground on the other side they must avoid the jaws of the waiting crocodiles.
The Masai Mara is home to the great migration. The wildebeests have to cross the crocodile infested waters of the Mara River. The spectacle of how the wildebeests plash this water to cross to the other shore and also survive the crocodiles is really interesting. That’s why the Masai Mara national reserve obviously is the most visited national park in Kenya.
The Masai Mara has generally the biggest animal concentration in the East African region due to these events of migration. The park is well endowed with a good population of the big cats and the African big five animals that are highly sought after by the travelers on Safari to the Masai Mara national reserve.
The Masai Mara National reserve is basically located in the south western region of Kenya. The Reserve gets its name from the Masai people of the area.
For travelers interested in the great migration of the wildebeests, the best time to visit would be between July to October. You will also have a chance to see some migratory birds if you visit between October and April. December and March are the best warm months for the game viewing.
