   Masai Mara Safaris are all about predator-prey actions and the cycle of life and death. Every year from June to October, Mara hosts one of the largest mammal migrations on this earth - The Great Wildebeest Migration. Tens of thousands of wildebeest arrive into Kenya’s Masai Mara from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It is a time of great bounty for every predator living on this land.
