About Masai Mara
Named for the Maasai people (the traditional inhabitants of the
area) and the Mara River which divides it, Masai Mara is famous
for its exceptional population of game and the annual migration
of the wildebeest every July and August, a migration so immense
it is called the Great Migration.
Though not the largest game park in Kenya, Masai Mara is the
most famous.
Masai Mara is most famous for its lions. All other members of
the "Big Five" are to be found in the Masai Mara. Wildebeest are
the dominant inhabitant of the Masai Mara, and their numbers are
estimated in the millions. Around July of each year these
animals migrate in north from the Serengeti plains in search of
fresh pasture, and return to the south around October.
The Great Migration is one of the most impressive natural events
worldwide, involving about 1,300,000 Wildebeest, 360,000
Thomson's Gazelle, and 191,000 Zebra. These numerous migrants
are followed along their annual route by predators, most notably
lions and hyena.
Every July (or sometimes August), the wildebeest travel over 600
miles (960km) from Tanzania's Serengeti plains, northwards to
the Masai Mara and the Mara River is the final obstacle. In
October or November, once they have feasted and the grass has
all but gone, they turn around and go back the other way
