It could be said that no wildlife event on Earth rivals East Africa’s Great Migration for excitement and thrills. Every year, huge herds of wildebeest and zebra make a grand journey across the plains from the Serengeti into Kenya’s famed Maasai Mara and back, following the new grass that grows as the seasonal rains fall. Predators such as hyena and jackal and of course the Mara’s abundant lions, follow the migrating wildlife, ensuring their own survival by picking out weaker members of the herds. Guided by top expedition leaders who are expert trackers and know this land like the back of their hand it is possible to encounter an abundance of wildlife away from crowds giving travellers a truly unique experience.

Kenya offers photographers the chance to capture iconic images of Africa such as giraffes grazing on acacia trees, elephants trundling over the savanna and the proud Maasai people wearing traditional dress.

Travelling to the Maasai Mara can be an uncomfortable experience as the roads are often dusty and bumpy so look for a company that flies travellers in directly to avoid this. A Migration safari guarantees an authentic safari experience of Kenya which will stay with travellers for many years to come.
