Explore the wilds of Masai Mara on this 3-day, 2-night safari from Nairobi. You may be lucky enough to witness the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, which usually happens from July to October as the wildebeest move in search of moisture and new grass. Enjoy game drives, game viewing, and sweeping savanna landscapes during your stay.

It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the Great Migration.
