Day 6 & 7 - Masai Mara: Keekorok Lodge 

The 'Masai Mara' (aka 'Serengeti' - if in Tanzania). The Masai Mara National Reserve is an "awesome" place, it is probably the most famous National Reserve in Kenya, if not the world.

The Masai Mara is most famous for the Masai culture (tribe) and, of course, the Wildebeest migration - the spectacular annual migration phenomenon.

We actually missed the peak of the migration where you are meant to see thousands of Wildebeests on the move during the months of July through to October - but we still saw several large patchier herds around the Mara.
