What completes – or would complete – a great stay in Maasai Mara? For some people, it is the phenomenal sight of wildebeest during the Great Migration currently in progress.
For others, it is a great stay in one of the budget-friendly hotels within the reserve’s vicinity.
Every year, tens of thousands of wildebeests cross over to Kenya from the Serengeti in Tanzania for pasture beginning June. They migrate back to the Serengeti through the northern corridor of the Maasai Mara in late September. It is a spectacle you don’t want to miss!
An estimated two million wild animals cross the Mara River, known for its huge crocodiles lying in wait for their prey.
With this spectacle come thousands of tourists from different corners of the world to enjoy the thrill of the seventh wonder of the world. Be as it may, accommodation is a huge part of the memories you make in Maasai Mara. And there are plenty of great places to stay for a few days while you enjoy the Wildebeest Migration.
So, these are the top hotels within Maasai Mara where you can book your stay.
