September - See the Migration on the Masai Mara

September is one of the best times to be on safari in Kenya, when wildlife on the Masai Mara is at its prime. Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebra and other grazers join the resident population of big cats, elephant and other game to form perhaps the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It's worth booking well in advance, though, as space is restricted. Follow with a beach break in Kenya, Zanzibar or elsewhere.
