Maasai Mara
The migration,
the way it actually moves.
On the ground the migration is a river crossing, or a column disappearing into dust. From a helicopter it is the whole herd at once, spread across the plains the way it actually spreads.

Overview
A genuinely different way of understanding the migration.
Hundreds of thousands of animals, not a few hundred around one vehicle.
On the ground the migration is a river crossing, or a column of wildebeest disappearing into dust. From a helicopter it is the whole herd at once, spread across the plains the way it actually spreads — which is a genuinely different way of understanding what the migration is.
This can be woven into a broader Kenya itinerary as a single flight from camp, added wherever it fits your days in the Mara. Or it can stand entirely on its own: fly from Nairobi, spend the morning over the herds, land for lunch at Angama Mara on the escarpment above the reserve, and be back in Nairobi by the afternoon.
