Best time to visit Kenya

Every year, around two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle gather up their young and migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park to Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of food and water. Predators also follow closely, so you can imagine there's a lot going on!

In the Maasai Mara, you can expect the wildebeest to arrive as early as July, but they generally arrive between August and September and remain in the Mara between October and November before returning to the Serengeti.
