The Masai Mara is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to experience:

July to October: This is the peak season to witness the Great Migration. The migration culminates in the dramatic Mara River crossings, where wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters.
January to March: This period offers excellent game viewing as the short grass makes wildlife more visible. The baby animals born during the wet season are often seen during this time, and it’s a great time for predator action.
April to June: This is the low season when the Masai Mara is lush from the rains. Though there may be fewer tourists, wildlife viewing is still good, and you can enjoy lower rates.
