Your guide may take you to new areas of the park to increase your chances of spotting a variety of animals, from herds of grazing antelope to family groups of elephants and towering giraffes.
Seasonal Highlights: If you’re visiting between July and October, you may witness the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara. During this time, the dramatic river crossings are a highlight, with crocodiles lying in wait as herds plunge through the Mara River.

The Mara’s morning light provides a stunning backdrop for photos and memorable sightings.
