- The Great Migration is a natural event, and the movements of the migrating herds are difficult to predict year to year. The herds are usually in the Maasai Mara from August to early November. During this time, you're likely to see the herds in migration motion. River crossings are more of a challenge, but we'll adjust game viewing if there is a chance to witness this rare and extraordinary sight!

- We don't recommend this holiday to guests with serious back problems due to rough driving on/off road in/between game parks.
