Best Time for the Great Migration

The Great Migration is typically at its peak in the Maasai Mara from July to October, when vast herds of wildebeest and zebras cross from the Serengeti into Kenya. River crossings are most common during this period, although exact timing depends on rainfall and wildlife movements.

Prices vary depending on the travel season, airline availability, lodge selected, and whether the safari is private or shared.
