Finally the great migration has arrived into the Maasai Mara Game Reserve!  This is a frentic time when dominant bulls attempt to round up and mate with as many females as they possibly can.The herds will spend much of the ensuing three months around the Mara and its adjoining areas in search of fresh grazing, before the first hints of the rain back in the south begin to beckon.
