The Maasai Mara is a year-round destination, but timing your visit around the Great Migration can make it extraordinary.
July to October — the Great Migration is typically in the Mara, with dramatic river crossings of wildebeest and zebra. This is peak season — book well in advance.
January to March — calving season in the southern Serengeti (just across the border), with excellent predator action and fewer crowds in the Mara itself.
April to May — the long rains bring lush green landscapes and lower prices, ideal for budget-conscious travelers who don't mind occasional showers.
Whatever the season, our Kenya safari packages can be tailored to when you're traveling.
