The Great Migration is one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events, where over 1.5 million wildebeests & zebras move between Tanzania and Kenya in search of fresh grazing.

The Great Migration in Kenya typically takes place from July through October, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross from Tanzania into Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve in search of fresh grazing.

The most dramatic moments—river crossings along the Mara River—usually occur between July and September, depending on rainfall patterns. Because the migration is a natural, weather-driven event, exact timing can vary slightly each year.

The best place to see the Great Migration in Kenya is the Maasai Mara National Reserve, located in the southwest of the country along the border with Tanzania’s Serengeti.

Within the Maasai Mara, top viewing areas include:

• The Mara River (famous for dramatic river crossings)
• Northern conservancies like Mara North and Olare Motorogi (fewer crowds, premium experiences)

These regions offer front-row access to:

• Massive herds on the open plains
• Predator action (lion, cheetah, crocodile)
• Iconic safari landscapes

Yes, Nairobi National Park offers a unique safari experience just outside the city, making it a perfect addition to any itinerary with Great African Safari.
