Masai Mara National Park

Are you visiting the Masai Mara in July or August? During this time, the park gets very lively. Not only due to crowds of tourists in safari vehicles but also because the animals are in abundance. Millions of wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores migrate through the lush green area in search of food. During the dry season, these animals make their way from Tanzania to the Masai Mara, crossing the border in search of better grazing. The drier Serengeti can’t compete with the green, lush grasslands of the Masai Mara. As the rainy season starts in Tanzania, the wildebeests head back south, crossing the Mara River, where hungry crocodiles lie in wait. This results in a herbivore bloodbath and well-fed crocodile bellies. If you love action, make sure you’re in the Masai Mara during this period to witness a kill up close!
