Masai Mara Migration Experience

About this journey

Every year between July and October, over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle pour across the Mara River from Tanzania's Serengeti into Kenya's Masai Mara — one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on Earth. This 7-day luxury safari places you in prime position to witness the thundering river crossings, heart-stopping predator attacks, and the sheer overwhelming scale of the Great Migration. The journey begins with a visit to Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley, where hippos wallow in the shallows and fish eagles patrol the papyrus-fringed shores. A boat safari and a walk on Crescent Island set the tone before you head west to the Masai Mara, where three full nights provide ample time to explore the reserve's legendary ecosystem. The Mara is home to one of the highest densities of big cats in Africa — lion prides command the open grasslands, cheetahs sprint across the plains in pursuit of Thomson's gazelles, and leopards drape themselves across the branches of sausage trees. Your luxury tented camp sits within a private conservancy bordering the reserve, offering exclusive night drives, bush walks, and cultural visits to Maasai villages that are not possible inside the national reserve itself. This is the ultimate migration safari — designed for travelers who demand both adventure and refinement.
