What is the best time to visit Maasai Mara for the Great Migration?
The best time to witness the wildebeest migration in Maasai Mara is from July to September. During this time, one might observe massive herds of wildebeest and zebra in Maasai Mara. The ideal periods to view the animals cross the Mara River are July and August.
This is also the dry season, and aside from the sight of the migration, you will have a better opportunity to see many more species than normal as they congregate near water holes.
This is also the summer vacation season, so it's an excellent opportunity to witness this spectacular event with your family.
