This season which culminates with the concurrent "Seventh Wonder of the World", annual migration of the Wildebeests. The game Lodges are also preparing for a busy time this season, considering the poor occupancy levels of the lodges at the same time last year, highly regarded to the past dry whether spell, that saw a devastated wildlife and domestic animals populations alike. With the resumption of the long rains, all seems well and the parks are all green, which is also attributed to the inflow of the tourists.

With all these going on, the council management, which is also the custodian of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, is not taking a back seat, and neither is it leaving anything to chance.
