The best time to see the great migration in Kenya
The best time to witness the Great Migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara is typically from July to October. During these months, millions of wildebeests, zebras, and other animals cross the Mara River from Tanzania’s Serengeti into the Maasai Mara in search of greener pastures. The river crossings, which are the most dramatic and sought-after part of the migration, usually occur from late July to early September. By late October, the herds start moving back to the Serengeti.
