Great Migration Safari in Kenya – Tour Packages 2025/2026/2027

Why Choose Kenya for the Great Migration?

Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve offers one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on Earth — the Great Wildebeest Migration river crossings. From July through October, over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles pour into the Mara from the Serengeti, facing crocodile-infested waters and lurking predators.

This is the best time to visit Kenya for a migration safari, with peak action centered along the Mara River. Kenya’s well-developed infrastructure, family-friendly lodges, and world-renowned guides make it a top safari destination for all types of travelers.
