Each year around 1.5 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebra gather up their young and start their long trek to Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. This magnificent annual migration tops almost every list of safari experiences. The luxurious Sala’s Camp, in a remote region of the Mara by the Tanzanian border, offers front-row seats with views right into the Northern Corridor. Perched here you can experience this amazing natural phenomenon up close. It’s hard to see why anybody wouldn’t want to migrate here, this region of Kenya is one of breathtaking wildlife wonders and scorching hot sunshine.
