Trip Overview

Watch the Big Herds on Their Migration Trail

This is the greatest migration on earth! The herds move in a clockwise direction, up from the south of the Serengeti National Park, through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Loliondo Game Controlled Area, and the Grumeti Reserve. They then leave Tanzania briefly to spend time in the Maasai Mara in Kenya, which borders Serengeti National Park to the north, before heading back south to start the journey again. Most of the migration takes place in the far larger Serengeti, Tanzania than in the Maasai Mara, Kenya.

The migration brings together between 1.5 to 2 million wildebeest alongside zebras and other wildlife who together, trek a total of 800 km or more during each migration cycle across Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of lush pasture and water. Get ready for a safari of your lifetime.

The Maasai Mara holds a special place in the collective imagination of the world of wildlife luxury. It’s home to millions of wild animals and birds in its vast rolling grasslands. This seven days Masai Mara luxury safari tour offers you the chance to witness the splendor of nature at its finest.

Day 0 & 1

Explore Kenya's historic capital, Nairobi City

Upon your arrival, you will be received by our English-speaking representative at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport arrivals hall. Our representative will walk you through the welcome package documents, and your itinerary and answer any questions you may have. You will enjoy a complimentary private transfer from the airport to your hotel.

This morning after spending a relaxed night at the hotel, you will now have an opportunity to enjoy some of Africa’s most iconic animals in the city of Nairobi and this will give us access to giant elephants and towering giraffes.

Spending our day at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphaned Trust will allow us to learn more about conservation efforts being made to protect these giants. We will then stop at the Giraffe Center, where you’ll find Rothschild Giraffes wandering the grounds.

Our last memorable experience will include a tour of the Kazuri beads women factory where women from the community are committed to making beads as a way to live sustainably. From here we’ll drive back to the hotel for dinner and the night at the Hemingways Nairobi.

Nairobi City Tours

This morning you’ll Nairobi and head off to the Maasai Mara. The approximate travel time is six hours. Head directly into the park for game viewing and then return to the camp for late check-in.

Please note that the first half of this drive will be on paved roads and the last half will be rough & bumpy roads but generally, the drive is still worth it. You’ll enjoy a box lunch while you on the way.

Enjoy the afternoon while appreciating an exciting game viewing experience. This afternoon, we’ll explore several wildlife hot spots with an aim to espy elusive animals such as the leopard.

These spotted cats blend almost seamlessly into the tall grass and shrubbery and are even more challenging to spot when in their favourite hangout, the trees.

Exploring the region, your guide will take you to nearby watering holes where on a hot day you’ll spot not only mammals but also mammals. After a thrilling afternoon game drive, you will be returned to Governors Camp in time to freshen up for a delicious dinner.

Understanding the annual Wildebeest Migration

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.
