In general, the best time to see the Great Migration in the Masai Mara is from July to October. Keep in mind though, mother nature is her own boss.
We will provide you with a very probable outline of when to expect those special moments during the Great Migration, but obviously there is no way to know for certain that the herds will cross a river during a particular period of time.
Weather can be unpredictable and late rains or early rains can result in a delayed or early migration pattern. The good news is that the Maasai Mara has plenty of wildlife to enjoy all year round.
The months that are most frequently mentioned as the best time of year to visit the Great Migration, July to October, are also the busiest months in the Maasai Mara.
It is safe to say that you won’t have the herds to yourself during these months. You can expect more safari travelers within the Maasai Mara National Reserve proper and may have to queue up during safari game drives.
For a quieter stay in this period we recommend staying in one of the Maasai Mara Conservancies. Here is an outline of what to expect from the Great Migration.
