Kenya’s most famous reserve, and the stage for the great wildebeest migration each year. Open grass plains meet the winding Mara River, where thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross between July and October. Outside migration season, it’s still some of the most reliable big-cat viewing in Africa – resident lion prides, cheetah on the open plains, and leopard along the riverine forest.
