Its that time again.....The Wildebeest Migration is on in Maasai Mara

Kenya is currently abuzz as the high tourist season sets in. Every attraction, and they are many, will be swamped to the brim, from the pristine beaches, the game parks, the plains, the savannas to the lakes, hills and mountains will be recording increased visitation. Hotels, apartments, lodges, camps, campsites, name it, every accommodation will be taken up. Its truly a high tourist season.

Wildebeest migration is on, this marks the beginning of the tourist high season, of course, who would want to miss this spectacle, it is truly a magnificent phenomenon to behold, millions of hoofed herbivores and clawy carnivores moving in a divinely choreographed unison swamps the plains of Maasai-Mara game reserve from the Serengeti national park of Tanzania. No where on earth do we have such kind of phenomenon.

Many a tourist will combine a bit of this spectacle into their Kenyan tour which would include the Kenyan mountains, the Kenyan lakes, the Kenyan cultures, Kenya heritage and the Kenyan beaches.
