The first crossings typically occur in late July. This is a period of high drama as thousands of animals plunge into crocodile-infested waters. The decision to cross is often chaotic and unpredictable, driven by panic and the pressure of the herd behind.
This is the peak migration period in the Maasai Mara national reserve. This the most speculated chaotic migratory season.
A pervasive misconception among travellers is that the "Migration" is a singular event, specifically the dramatic river crossings occurring only in mid-summer. In reality, the migration is a continuum, a circular odyssey covering 1,800 miles annually, driven by a biological algorithm predicated on rainfall, grass nutrition, and the reproductive cycle.
A grand circuit of Kenya. From Samburu’s rare northern species to Amboseli’s giant elephants and the Maasai Mara’s vast predator plains, this journey covers it all.

While the animals move year-round, the "best" time depends on what you want to see. The most popular window is July through October, when the herds face the dramatic Mara River crossings between Tanzania and Kenya. However, the January to March calving season in the Southern Serengeti is equally spectacular, featuring lush green plains and thousands of calves born daily.
While the 4x4 game drive is the core product of a migration safari, the Kenyan circuit offers diverse "add-on" experiences that provide a break from the vehicle and a deeper connection to the ecosystem.
