Throughout the year the Masai Mara is place of natural drama, a kaleidoscope of colour and life. After the rains, when the first flush of grass turns golden savannah green, the most mesmerising wildlife spectacle anywhere takes place here: the Great Migration. This is the time when one and a half million wildebeest, accompanied by vast numbers of zebra and gazelles make the long and dangerous trek from drier land in Tanzania, northwards to this corner of Kenya. |
