When to Go to the Masai Mara

You can visit the Masai Mara National Reserve at any time of year. From a weather point of view, there's no disadvantageous time to visit.

The Masai Mara is a superb game-viewing destination all year round. However, most people would like to time their visit with the Great Wildebeest Migration. Getting the timing right is really tricky as it all depends on when the rains fall and set the migration in motion.

The migration starts and ends in the Masai Mara so from September to December, your chances of witnessing the sheer mass of grazers that gather are good. Click here to read our Guide to the Migration.
