Have you seen the Wildebeest Migration, the greatest Animal Show on Earth?: Valid from 1/07/2008 to 31/10/2008

The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve. Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific. The Masai Mara National Reserve lies about 270 kilometers from Nairobi and is about 1510 square kilometers.

However, the wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries, and an even larger area, generally referred to as the "dispersal area" extends north and east of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Maasai communities live within the dispersal area with their stock but a century of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and people live in peace with one another.

Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration is in the Masai Mara National Reserve, the sensation is unparalleled. Each year, far south in the great vastness of the Serengeti, the wildebeest raise their dignified but quaint heads, sniff the air and, as if by one accord, start the long trek to the Kenya border and the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Around the end of June, drawn by the sweet grass raised by the long rains of April and May, it is estimated that more than half a million wildebeest enter the Masai Mara National Reserve and are joined by another 100,000 from the Loita Hills east of the Masai Mara. Driving in the midst of these great herds is an unimaginable experience. Whilst the eyes feast on the spectacle, the air carries the smells, the dust and the sounds of hundreds of thousands of animals.

There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. But the trek is costly. The herds' draw ravening packs of predators, especially hyenas and lions, and thousands of the lame, laggard and sick never complete the cycle. More die, by drowning or by the teeth of the cunning crocodile, while trying to cross the swirling muddy waters of the Mara and Talek rivers.

To see the Wildebeest Migration I want to introduce three fantastic, unique wilderness retreats in Maasai Mara to you

Mara Serena Safari Lodge****

Concealed deep within the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill, embraced by arcing vistas and washed by a sea of richly rolling grasslands, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife arenas and has a ringside seat for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

Drawing its inspiration from the traditional Maasai cultural motif of a cluster of domed, mud-coloured huts encircled by a “Boma” of brushwood, the Mara Serena offers a rare blend of raw African splendor and sumptuous sophistication. The essentially ethnic décor also draws on a vibrant colour-palette of sun-burst colours, embellished by a unique selection of Maasai art to create the look and feel of a traditional bush encampment. The lodge features individual rooms, each with their own balcony and view of eternity, a sky-blue swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant, overlooking a water hole where a fantasia of creatures collect to drink.

Little Governors Camp*****

Little Governors’ is a secluded and intimate luxurious tented Camp in the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve located in a unique area -near a natural waterhole, with a constant and unrivalled flow of wildlife throughout the year.

Getting to the camp is an adventure in itself; first, the Mara River has to be crossed by boat, then a short distance walk through the forest, escorted by armed guards. Nowhere else can you get so far from civilization, yet stay in such style; this exquisite and romantic setting has a serenity of its own!
