Great Migration from the bird’s eye in the Masai Mara National Reserve

HerdTracker update 08 Oct 2019 by Adam Levy

Adam Levy saw a big herd of the wildebeest and zebra from the bird’s eye scattered in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Kenya’s Masai Mara is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife viewing areas and the jewel of Kenya. The nearly 600 square mile Masai Mara National Reserve is remarkable for its year-round density of big game wildlife and spotting Africa’s Big Five is almost a guarantee. It’s a no-brainer when selecting a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience. The one thing you might not have considered for your safari, though, is taking to the skies in a Masai Mara hot air balloon safari. And a hot air balloon Masai Mara experience simply needs to be on your bucket list.

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Mara Plains Camp, Masai Mara Safaris

Recommended safari: Best of Africa
