The Maasai Mara wildebeest Migration

It is just starting and it runs all the way to October. However, August marks a pivotal moment in the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet.

Millions of wildebeests, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, embark on a treacherous journey across the Mara River in search of greener pastures.

The sheer magnitude of this natural spectacle is awe-inspiring and offers an unmatched opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers to capture moments of raw beauty.

Did you hear that? Raw, beauty awaits.

Extreme Park safaris

The Maasai Mara, an iconic destination in Kenya, comes to life in August as it plays host to a dramatic chapter of the migration. Game drives through the reserve offer an up-close encounter with the Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinoceros – against the breathtaking backdrop of endless grasslands and acacia trees.

Engage with the Maasai people and delve into their rich culture and traditions to gain a deeper understanding of the region’s heritage.

The Tsavo – the historic home of man-eating lions, is also epic at this time. The weather now is perfect for drives and safaris. The Savanna is well-fed, the grass, the plateau, and the animals are super healthy now. The skies are clear and starry most of the nights. It is a perfect time for a group Safari.

Come Travel Kenya will help you pitch cozy tents for nights in the wild. 

The Coast Beckons – Beaches are super beautiful in August

Diani Beach, Watamu, and Malindi offer idyllic settings for sunbathing, water sports, and exploring vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Humpback whale Migration
