The Masai Mara National Reserve is famous for wildebeest as well as home to Africa's Big Five: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino. During this 3-day Maasai Mara Migration Safari, you will enjoy road transport from Nairobi and up to four exclusive safari game drives within the reserve. Additionally, you have the option to enhance your cultural understanding by visiting a Maasai village and delving into the rich traditions of this remarkable community.

The best time to witness the Great Migration in Maasai Mara Reserve is during the dry season, from June to October, particularly around July to September, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures, providing a spectacular wildlife spectacle. This period offers the highest concentration of wildlife and iconic river crossings, making it the prime choice for visitors looking to experience this natural wonder at its peak.
