The reserve hosts the great annual wildebeest migration during the months of July- October. Masai Mara is a unique wildlife conservation haven famous for its spectacular natural diversity of wildlife and is Kenya’s premier safari destination offering visitors numerous reasons to visit this animal paradise. Large numbers of Lions, Cheetah, Elephant, Rhino, African Buffalo, Wildebeest, Giraffe, Zebra and many more animals are found in the park in their natural habitat, unconfined and free to roam the vast African wilderness stretching for miles on end. The Masai Mara is named in honor of the Maasai people, the ancestral inhabitants of the area, who migrated to the area from the Nile Basin. Their description of the area when looked at from afar: “Mara” means “spotted” in the local Maasai language, due to the many short bushy trees which dot the landscape
