Sarah from A Week at the Beach was kind enough to share these photos from her trip to Maasai Mara, safari game reserve.

Maasai Mara, also known as Masai Mara, is considered one of the best safari game reserves.  It is a 5 to 6 hour drive from Nairobi City.

To avoid the rain, January to March would be the best time to visit. But if you want to see the wildebeest migration, you should visit in July to November.
