Every year between the months of July and October, thousands of wildebeest and migratory animals cross the crocodile infested Mara River in an attempt to reach the lush, green grass plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve. It is an ultimate life-and-death spectacle and one that leaves travelers with unforgettable memories. Our 8 days tour of Tanzania takes you to the action packed Mara River, located at the border of Tanzania and Kenya. This is an opportunity not to be missed by safari enthusiasts.
