About the destination

Mara River

The most famous crossing point of the Great Migration

If you have watched a documentary about the Great Migration, the scenes you remember were almost certainly filmed here. The Mara River is the crossing that the whole migration story builds towards: huge herds of wildebeest trying to reach the far bank of a river full of crocodiles.

Best time to go: August and September, when crossings peak
