The Great Migration in Kenya
The Great Migration is one of the main reasons many travelers choose Kenya safari holidays.
From July to October, large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle move into the Maasai Mara from the Serengeti. The Mara River crossings usually peak from late July to September, when crocodiles and predators make the movement more intense.
The best time for Great Migration safari tours in Kenya is July to October. For fewer crowds and better rates, the green season from November to June can also be a good choice.
