Full-day game drive in Masai Mara National Reserve

Do you know the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side"? Well, during the great migration, the grass is indeed greener on the other side. Each year, over 2 million wildebeest, zebra and other herbivores trek from the southern Serengeti to the lush green grasses of the Masai Mara, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. As the herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle enter the Masai Mara, they are met by more than their fair share of lethal predators. Aside from the threat of the big cats, the lemming-like herds are also faced with over 3,000 crocodiles lurking in the murky waters of the Mara River during their river crossing. Eventually, the massive herds are rewarded with spoils of the wide-open plains. For a while, life is good. When the food supply dwindles and the rains move on, so do the herds.
