Home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebra, and other herbivores move across the plains annually, Kenya’s Masai Mara is one of the world’s most famous game reserves. Between July and October, the herds pour into the Masai Mara from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. They must cross the Mara River on the border, marking the most treacherous point in the journey, with crocodiles waiting beneath the surface. It’s one of Africa’s premier wildlife experiences and has one of the highest concentrations of wildlife year-round. The reserve is named after the Maasai people, who are the ancestral inhabitants of the area.
