The Mara in migration season is the most reliable wildlife spectacle on the continent, and the reason to plan it early.
When to go
July to October for the migration. January and February are quieter and excellent for big cats.
How long
Eight to twelve days. Split between a conservancy and the reserve to escape the vehicle crowds.
What our designers tell first-timers
- Conservancies allow off-road and night drives; the national reserve does not
- Internal flights beat long road transfers on trips under ten days
- Two nights in one camp is the minimum that makes sense
