For a more exciting and thrilling honeymoon, Masai Mara National Reserve is the place to be! From July to October, over a million wildebeests and thousands of zebras follow an ancient migratory path through the reserve. Known as the Great Migration, the exodus is one of the world’s most amazing natural events, due not only to the sheer size of the herds, but also the unsurmountable odds faced by these animals. To accentuate the almost unimaginable experience of seeing the migration up-close, we recommend the intimate Mahali Mzuri, a 12-tent accommodation situated on the edge of the action!
