Masai Mara Great Migration Safari
Eight days inside Kenya's greatest wildlife reserve during the most spectacular animal event on Earth.
About this Trip
The Great Migration river crossings happen July–October as 1.5 million wildebeest enter the Masai Mara. Our 8-day safari positions you at the crossings with expert guides who know where to wait and when. We stay in two private tented camps deep inside the reserve — far from the tourist convoys.
