Available all year - pick any travel date that suits you.
Masai Mara during the Great Migration is the centrepiece of this five-night Kenya safari, pairing two nights in the reserve with a Rift Valley lake stay at Elementaita and a Nairobi finish. Three activities and game drives are built around the wildlife season.
When is the best time for the Great Migration in Masai Mara
The river crossings typically peak between July and October, and this guided itinerary places two full nights in the Masai Mara to chase that action, with morning and afternoon drives. Lake Elementaita adds birdlife and a Rift Valley setting, while Nairobi rounds off with a city night and optional Giraffe Centre visit.
