Witness the World’s Greatest Wildlife Spectacle in Kenya
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the most searched safari experience in Kenya. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras, gazelles, and predators, journey across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing land. If you’re planning an African safari in 2025, there is no better time to visit Maasai Mara National Reserve than during the migration season from July to October.
Best Time to See the Migration in Kenya
The wildebeest migration in Kenya typically peaks between July and October, when massive herds cross the Mara River, a heart-pounding moment filled with crocodile-infested waters, big cat encounters, and dramatic survival battles.
- July – August: The herds begin crossing into Maasai Mara from the Serengeti. This is the best time to witness the famous Mara River crossings.
- September – October: The herds spread across the Mara plains, offering excellent game-viewing opportunities with lion, cheetah, and hyena hunting action.
Where to Stay for the Best Migration Views
To maximize your chances of witnessing a river crossing, book accommodations near the Mara River. Some of the best migration safari camps include:
- Zebra Plains Mara Camp – Located in a prime migration corridor with excellent game-viewing opportunities.

- Ashnil Mara Camp – A tented camp strategically positioned near the migration route.
