This gives you a better chance to spot wildlife and get incredible photos. It also makes the entire experience more personal and definitely more memorable.

This is one of the most popular game parks in the world, mainly since the great migration occurs from July to October. This attracts visitors from all over the world who are eager to observe this natural wonder in real life – and it is, of course, an exceptional experience.
There are two reasons for the migration: safer pastures to birth their young and fresh grass after the rains. This migration is not an easy one, which is why they make the journey in large groups with the chance of more being saved.
