African Safari Vacation Package to Masai Mara, KenyaThe Masai Mara is said to be the best place in Africa for wildlife viewing due to the great numbers of animals and the open plains that make it easier to spot animals. Great dramas play out when the Wildebeest Migration passes through the Masai Mara for a few months of the year, but even when the herds have gone the Mara is one of the best game viewing areas. Game drives take you close to the action on a Masai Mara safari and in some areas walks are offered to give another perspective of this fascinating wilderness. The most famous balloon safari in Africa is offered over the Masai Mara, allowing for a unique view of the endless plains. As the name implies the Masai Mara is tied closely to the Maasai people who can sometimes still be seen grazing their cattle on the outer edges of the park. Cultural interactions with the Maasai provide a highlight to the Masai Mara safari. Best time to travel to the Masai MaraThe Masai Mara is a year round safari destination and the game viewing is not affected by the rains. The Great Wildebeest Migration passes through the Mara from July through to October. Getting ThereKenya's capital Nairobi is the center where most visitors will arrive at for a Masai Mara safari.
