air. This is especially good during the great wildebeest migration when over 2
million animals cross plains and rivers in search of pasture while traversing
more than 3000km between Kenya and Tanzania. The wildebeest migration takes
place in the months of July through October and it’s a great phenomenon to
witness.

are either budget or
luxury tented camping.

but very comfortable units which are raised from the ground and have a WC
bathroom and hot water showers. The tent also comes with a proper bed and
beddings and a table and a set of chairs. Most of the
budget tented camps are next
to the park gates but at good locations.
The luxury tented camping in Masai Mara is just out of this world where
you get to stay in a luxury tent with a rustic queen size bed and lavishly appointed
interiors. Here you have silverware fine dining and personal and private guide
and game drive vehicles and they mostly use air safaris.
