p>Technology launched recently by safari operator Discover Africa has shown that this year?s migration across the Masai Mara is happening earlier than usual.
Animals are expected to cross the Mara River this month rather than July, meaning that clients hoping to catch the natural event should book now.

Although forecasts are showing an earlier than usual migration, discounted deals are available for potential safari-goers at a time when camps and lodges are traditionally quiet.
