GRAB YOUR FRONT-ROW SEAT: THE MIGRATION IS ON!

It is that time of the year yet again when millions of herds of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes start their long pilgrimage from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. This arduous journey is a spectacle in itself, in fact, the eighth wonder of the world. Watching the herds plunge into the murky waters, with the risk of falling prey to the ferocious predators of the Nile crocodiles and Africa’s big cats sets a center-stage of a dramatic wildlife arena like no other. Mara Serena Safari Lodge is located at the very center of the famous ‘Mara Triangle’ with commanding views over the savannah and down the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River. This is your chance to secure a front-row seat at Mara Serena Safari Lodge to watch the raw display of nature live as it unfolds.
