President William Ruto is expected in the Maasai Mara today for a high-profile visit that coincides with the world-renowned wildebeest migration spectacle.
The wildebeest migration is an annual circular journey of over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems.
Driven by the search for fresh grazing and water, the
migration follows the rains and is a continuous cycle, with the herds moving
clockwise through the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya.
July to October is when the wildebeest migration reaches its peak, with herds crossing the Mara River into the Masai Mara National Reserve.
August is often cited as the peak month for witnessing the river crossing.
