From July to October the Masai Mara hosts the largest overland wildlife movement on Earth, and this itinerary is built around one thing: being in the right place when a crossing happens. We base you in the river sector, keep the schedule flexible, and let your guide play the waiting game that turns a good safari into the one you tell people about for years.

Crossings cannot be scheduled, and anyone who promises one is selling something. What we can promise is a million animals on the plains, predators working the edges of the herds, and a guide who has read the river through many seasons.

  • 3 nights tented camp near the Mara River sector

Tour Plan

1 Nairobi to the Mara

Down the Rift wall and into the reserve for an afternoon drive among the arriving herds.

2 The river watch

A full day positioned along the Mara River crossings, waiting where the herds bunch. Patience is the whole game, and your guide reads it hour by hour.

3 Predators of the migration

With over a million wildebeest on the plains, the Mara's lion, cheetah and hyena are at their most active. A dawn drive and a long golden-hour session.

4 Mara to Nairobi

A final early drive, then the road back to Nairobi by late afternoon.
