MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
Migration Madness
This famous park – a northern extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti – is responsible for perhaps more images of African animals than any other. The Mara’s game is, quite naturally, highly habituated to humans, which means it’s not unusual to see a hyena kill or something similarly thrilling before you’ve been there too long. From August to November the park plays host to the northern leg of the famous Serengeti wildebeest migration (not forgetting the countless zebra and other herbivores that accompany them), which many consider to be the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle.
