The Mara River is one of the most iconic rivers in Africa, and for good reason. It is home to a vast array of wildlife, including the world-famous wildebeest migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle cross the Mara River in their search for new grazing lands. This is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world, and it is a must-see for any visitor to Kenya or Tanzania. The Mara River is also a great place to see other wildlife, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos. The riverbanks are lined with trees and bushes, which provide habitat for a variety of birds and monkeys. If you are planning a safari to Kenya or Tanzania, I highly recommend visiting the Mara River. It is an unforgettable experience that you will never forget. Here are some tips for visiting the Mara River: * The best time to visit the Mara River is during the Great Migration, which takes place from July to October. However, the river is still a great place to see wildlife throughout the year. * There are many different ways to experience the Mara River. You can go on a game drive, take a boat safari, or even go for a walk along the riverbank. * If you are planning a game drive, be sure to book your tour in advance, especially if you are visiting during the Great Migration. * When you are on a game drive, be sure to follow your guide's instructions and stay in the vehicle at all times. This is for your safety and the safety of the wildlife. * The Mara River is a beautiful and wild place. Please respect the environment and leave no trace.

Only giving 3 stars as it is just a river, but to witness a crossing is incredible and would turn the rating up to 11
