The Wildebeest Migration & the Big Five

The Masai Mara is one of the few places in Africa where you can witness the Great Migration and spot the Big Five in one trip. From July to October, more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River from Tanzania’s Serengeti, creating breathtaking moments of life, death, and survival. Mara Siligi Camp places you close to the action, providing early morning access to key crossing points.

Apart from the migration, the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—add to the thrill of every game drive. The Mara’s open landscapes and high predator density make it one of the best safari destinations globally. Most Masai Mara tour packages combine migration game drives with Big Five tracking, ensuring a well-rounded and unforgettable safari experience. If you’re after iconic wildlife moments, this is the place to be.
