Taking a Masai Mara safari is one of the most interesting things to do in Kenya - add on your bucket list. In fact, when it comes to landscapes and local widlife, there is simply nowhere better to spend a few days.
The best time to take a Masai Mara safari is during the Wildebeest Migration, which takes place between July and November. During this time, more than two million wildebeest, gazelle and zebra will travel between the Masai Mara and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. In case you might be asking yourself, these two regions are beside each other and divided by the infamous Mara River.
Short rains arrive in the month of November and this is when the last of the Wildebeest travel south into the Serengeti. However, calving season also takes place in the Masai Mara in December and January which is also an incredibly green and luscious period. Due to the healthy population of wildebeest, lion and other predators remain close by at this time.
Throw in excellent year-round game viewing and a wide range of accommodation options for families, couples and honeymooners, and you’ll understand why Kenya’s flagship conservation area is one of Africa’s best-loved safari destinations.

Great pics, Esther! I went myself in 2005 as a young lad and it was amazing. Worth a visit regardless of age.
