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 generally known to be the home to the great migration. Every year, over one million wildebeests cross from the Masai Mara from the Serengeti national park In Search for greener pastures in the famous Masai Mara in Kenya.
Large herds of wildebeests basically arrive in the Masai Mara game reserve plains from July to October, as they flee Tanzania’s arid Serengeti national park. These animals engage in combat to gain entry. It becomes far more difficult and time-consuming for the wildebeests to traverse the Mara River’s crocodile-infested waters. It’s amazing to watch the spectacle of the wildebeests slamming through this water to reach the other side and avoid the crocodiles. Because of the amazing animal viewing opportunities, the Masai Mara National Reserve is the most popular national park in Kenya.
Because of these migration patterns, the Masai Mara has the highest animal concentration in all of East Africa. Visitors on safari to the Masai Mara national reserve are particularly interested in seeing the African big five species. They are abundant in the park. The park features giraffes in the acacia sections, cheetahs hunting on the plains, and pools of hippos on its rivers and streams.
The Masai Mara National reserve is located in the south western region of Kenya. The Reserve gets its name from the Masai people of the area.
Another aspect of the Masai Mara that you should consider is their distinctive culture. You should investigate their life and see how they have lived and are currently living.
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.
