The Great Migration is not a fixed timetable. This route protects more time in the Maasai Mara so daily plans can respond to rain, grazing and current herd locations.
Journey Highlights
- Multiple days in the Maasai Mara during migration season
- Daily game-drive decisions informed by current local reports
- No promise of a river crossing—more time and better planning instead

Tailor-Made Planning
This is a sample private itinerary, not a fixed-departure package. Accommodation, vehicle type, domestic flights, permits and park or reserve access will be confirmed for your travel dates. Wildlife sightings, mountain views and river crossings cannot be guaranteed because they depend on season, weather and natural behaviour.
We do not publish a fixed price for this journey. Your proposal will reflect confirmed dates, group size, room type, accommodation standard, transport and live local availability.
