The Great Wildebeest Migration also takes place here from July to October, a thrilling spectacle of millions of wildebeest and Thomson's gazelle crossing the plains.

Upon arrival, you'll enjoy lunch at the Mara Sopa Lodge or Similar before setting off on an exciting afternoon game drive. As you explore the vast plains, you'll have the chance to spot the Big Five and other incredible wildlife in their natural habitat.
