Best Time for a Masai Mara Safari

Timing is key when planning your Masai Mara safari. While wildlife sightings are excellent year-round, the Great Migration (July–October) is the most sought-after event, with millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River.

Staying at Mara Siligi Camp during this period gives you quick access to prime viewing areas without long drives. The camp’s guides know the best spots to witness the dramatic river crossings, making your safari even more special.

Even outside migration season, Masai Mara safari packages offer incredible opportunities to spot the Big Five, enjoy birdwatching, and experience fewer crowds. Morning and evening game drives ensure you see wildlife in its most active hours.

For photographers and nature lovers, the lush green season (November–June) offers beautiful landscapes and fewer vehicles, making it equally rewarding.
