Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The Best Time to Visit Masai Mara is during the dry season, from June to October, as this is when the Great Migration takes place, offering spectacular wildlife viewing. During these months, animals are easier to spot due to sparse vegetation, and the weather is generally sunny and pleasant.
The wet season, from November to May, is also a great time for those seeking a quieter experience. Although the migration is not happening, the park is lush and green, and the wildlife is abundant. Birdwatching is also at its peak during this time, as migratory birds arrive.
