worth seeing is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra
and gazelle from Serengeti plains across the Tanzania border and the Mara
River to reach Masai Mara grazing fields from late June. The dramatic
crossing of the river and the preying on the migrants by predators can
be viewed from early July to August. The reserve abounds with birdlife
