River Crossing

A second full day is dedicated to maximizing your chances of seeing the spectacular river crossing. The herds can remain on one side of the river for days before crossing, so a dedicated second day is essential. You will move with the herds, watching their movements and behaviors as they prepare for the daunting crossing. You will also have ample opportunities for other game drives, spotting resident wildlife like lions, elephants, and giraffes in this remote and beautiful part of the park.
River Crossing
The Mara River crossing is the most dramatic and famous part of the Great Migration. Taking place from approximately July to October, it involves millions of wildebeest and zebra making a dangerous journey across the river as they follow the rains. The treacherous waters and lurking predators make for a powerful and emotional spectacle that represents the raw essence of nature.
