Masai Mara Great Migration Safari — River Crossing Season
Witness nature's greatest spectacle — millions of wildebeest crossing the Mara River
Tour Overview
The Great Migration river crossings are the most dramatic wildlife event on Earth. Between July and October, over 2 million wildebeest and zebra cross the crocodile-infested Mara River in a thundering, chaotic spectacle that has been playing out for millennia. This safari positions you at the prime crossing points with expert Maasai guides who read the herds' behaviour to predict where and when crossings will happen. Between crossings, the Mara delivers extraordinary Big Five game viewing — lion prides, cheetah hunts, and leopards in the riverine forest. Stay at a luxury tented camp overlooking the plains for the complete Mara experience.
