For thousands of people, the highlight of the Great Wildebeest Migration is witnessing thousands of animals plunge into the Mara River. They had to stay out of the way of the waiting crocodiles in order to reach the fertile ground on the other side.
Masai mare is home to the great wildebeest migration. More than a million wildebeests migrate through the well-known Masai Mara in Kenya each year, from the Serengeti national park, in search of better grasses.
Large herds of wildebeests and other animals strive to enter the plains of the Masai Mara game reserve throughout the months of July through October as they flee Tanzania’s arid Serengeti National Park. The Mara River is home to crocodiles, making the wildebeests’ journey much more difficult and time-consuming. It’s rather amazing to watch how the wildebeests splash through the water. Because of this fantastic opportunity to see animals, the Masai Mara National Reserve is the most popular national park in Kenya.
Because of these migratory occurrences, the Masai Mara contains the largest concentration of animals in all of East Africa. The African big five animals are much sought after by tourists on safari to the Masai Mara national reserve.
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. Some ancient customs have persisted, and you’ll find it fascinating how they still apply to communal living, for instance.
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.
