Every year, more than a million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles thunder across the plains and plunge into the Mara River. Join us for a front-row seat to one of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles.
Hand-picked Maasai Mara safaris timed for the Great Migration, from budget camping to luxury tented camps.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most dramatic wildlife events on Earth. More than 1.5 million wildebeest, joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, move in a huge loop between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh grass and water.
From about July to October, the herds arrive in the Mara, and our Great Wildebeest Migration safaris put you right in the middle of the action. Watch thousands of animals gather on the banks of the Mara River before plunging into crocodile-filled water, while lions, leopards and cheetahs follow close behind.
We plan every detail, from your game drives with experienced guides to tented camps close to the crossing points. Call or WhatsApp us on +254 754 004 003 to book your migration safari.
The migration never stops, but where the herds are depends on the rains. Here’s a month-by-month guide to help you plan the best time for your Great Wildebeest Migration safari.
