Sarova Mara Game Camp offers front seats to nature's most breathtaking show - the wildebeest migration.Nothing quite captures the true spirit of East Africa like a safari in Kenya's richest game reserve, the Maasai Mara.
The endless plains of East Africa are the setting for the world's greatest wildlife spectacle where, from the vast Serengeti plains to the champagne coloured hills of Kenya's Maasai Mara, over 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra and gazelle, relentlessly tracked by Africa's great predators, migrate in a clockwise fashion over 1,800 miles each year in search of rain ripened grass.
Sarova Mara Game Camp is well positioned to enjoy this unique phenomenon. The rolling plains around the Camp are teeming with wildebeest, gazelles and zebras during the migration months, and the Camp is situated right in the center of their migration path. www.crocodileracers.com
