About this experience

In the northern Serengeti, the Great Migration herds gather along the Mara River before crossing. Full-day game drives from Kogatende give you time to wait at the banks, watching for the moment the wildebeest and zebra decide to cross.

Crossings are unpredictable and never guaranteed. Patient guides, flexible timing and a camp in the right area give you the best chance.

Highlights

  • Migration river-crossing opportunities
  • Fewer vehicles than the busiest Kenyan crossing points
  • Crocodiles and predators along the banks

Good to know

Best for
Migration-focused photographers
When to go
Crossings typically happen between about July and October, but the herds’ timing varies each year.
