When to Visit: Best Time for Masai Mara Migration (2026–2028)

July – Early August: Early herds arrive, plains begin filling up, good chance for initial crossings.
August – September: Peak migration — highest probability of witnessing iconic Mara River crossings, large herds, predator activity, dramatic wildlife scenes.
Late September – October: Herds spread across the reserve; great for big-cat sightings, fewer crowds than peak months.

Pro Tip: For the best balance of wildlife action and availability, aim for August or September 2026–2028. Please refer to In Africa Tour

Previous Safari Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1. “The best Migration safari we’ve ever done – unforgettable in every way!”

John & Melissa, USA – July 2024
“We booked the Great Migration safari with this team after comparing many Kenya tour companies — and we’re so glad we chose them. Our guide, Daniel, knew exactly where the wildebeest crossings would happen, and we saw everything: massive herds, crocodiles in the river, lions hunting. The accommodation, food, and communication were excellent. We are already planning to return in 2027 with our kids!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2. “Professional, knowledgeable, and truly customer-focused.”

Priyanka & Family, UAE – August 2023
“Our guide’s knowledge of wildlife behaviour was incredible. He positioned the vehicle perfectly during the Mara River crossing and made sure our children were comfortable and safe. The team arranged everything smoothly — airport pickup, lodge booking, meals, and even a surprise birthday cake for my son. Highly recommended for families booking for 2026 or 2027.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3. “Exceptional value for money — we saw the Big Five and more!”

Anton, Germany – September 2024
“As a solo traveller on a budget, I was impressed by the level of service. The vehicle was clean, the lodge was better than expected, and the game drives were spectacular. I saw the Big Five in just two days! This company truly offers quality at a fair price. I’m recommending them to my friends planning Migration Safaris for 2026–2028.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4. “A seamless experience from booking to drop-off.”

Rebecca & Team, UK – July 2023
“The booking process was smooth, transparent, and fast. They gave us several options for the 2026 Masai Mara Migration season, and the itinerary was custom-made for our group. Our guide was punctual, friendly, and very experienced — he even spotted a leopard we would have definitely missed. An ethical, reliable safari operator with excellent communication.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5. “My dream safari came true — highly eco-friendly and responsible.”

Martin, Australia – August 2024
“What impressed me most was their eco-conscious approach. They support local communities, avoid off-track driving, and use eco-friendly camps. The guides taught us about conservation and culture, making the experience both educational and meaningful. I’ll be booking again for the 2028 Migration season. Five stars!”
