Maasai Mara National Parks – Home of the Great Migration and Big Five

Explore Kenya’s Legendary Wildlife Reserve in the Great Rift Valley

The Maasai Mara National Reserve, located in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Its vast plains, dotted with acacia trees and rivers, are home to the Big Five and a rich variety of wildlife, offering exceptional game viewing year-round.

The reserve is world-famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, where over two million animals cross into the Mara from the Serengeti. This dramatic event, especially the river crossings, draws visitors from around the globe and highlights the raw beauty and power of nature.

Why Visit Maasai Mara National Parks?

From August to mid-October, the migration reaches the Maasai Mara, offering a front-row seat to dramatic Mara River crossings, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras risk everything to reach greener pastures—often stalked by crocodiles and big cats along the way.

While the Serengeti in neighboring Tanzania also hosts the migration throughout the year, the Maasai Mara offers some of the most intense and accessible action during this window. However, it's worth noting that Serengeti is typically less crowded, making it an excellent alternative for a more private experience.

Best Time to Visit Maasai Mara National Parks

When to Witness the Migration and Big Five

· July: Migration is still mostly in the Serengeti

· August – Mid September: Herds are split between the Serengeti and Maasai Mara

· Mid September – Mid October: Peak migration season in the Maasai Mara; the best time for river crossings

· Rest of the Year: Excellent wildlife viewing with fewer crowds
