Best Time To Travel:

July through October is the best time of year to witness the Great Migration in the Masai Mara. The months of June through October provide the clearest sky and the easiest opportunities to detect animals if you’re interested in dry-season game viewing.

There are fewer people and more beautiful scenery during the green season, which runs from November to May. Because so many migratory species are arriving, this is also an excellent time to go birdwatching.

How To Get There:

Nairobi to Masai Mara

By road, the journey takes about 5 to 6 hours, covering roughly 270 kilometers depending on which gate you enter through. It’s a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley but can be bumpy in parts.
Flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to one of the airstrips in the Mara such as Keekorok, Ol Kiombo, or Musiara which takes about 45 minutes.

About Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara is the crown jewel of luxury Kenya safaris and arguably the most iconic wildlife destination in Africa. Located in the southwest of Kenya and bordering Tanzania’s Serengeti, the Mara is famed for its abundant big cat population, high density of game, and its starring role in the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Covering around 1,510 square kilometers, the Mara is a landscape of wide open plains, acacia woodlands, riverine forests, and seasonal swamps. It’s bisected by the Mara River, which serves as both a lifeline for wildlife and the dramatic stage for river crossings during the migration months.

Wildlife Behavior in the Mara
The ecosystem supports an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five animals: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Lions are particularly abundant, and it’s common to observe prides lounging in the sun or stalking prey during a game drive. Leopards are frequently spotted along the Talek and Mara Rivers, while cheetahs prefer the open plains for high-speed hunts.

The reserve comes alive between July and October, when nearly two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles flood in from the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing. This phenomenon, known as the Great Migration, is one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth. The river crossings are particularly dramatic, with crocodiles waiting in the waters and predators lurking on the banks.

Even outside the migration season, the Mara offers year-round game viewing. Resident animals include giraffes, hippos, hyenas, jackals, topis, impalas, and hundreds of bird species. It’s a photographer’s dream and one of the few places where you can witness raw predator-prey interactions up close.
