Experience the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration on our 8 Days Great Migration Safari Kenya adventure with Mara Spirit Safaris. This wildlife-focused journey combines the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve with Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park, creating an unforgettable Kenya safari.
Spend quality time in the Masai Mara, searching for huge herds of wildebeest and zebras as well as lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and other African wildlife. During the migration season, travellers may have the opportunity to witness dramatic wildlife activity around the Mara ecosystem and, when conditions and animal movements align, the famous Mara River crossings.
The safari also takes you through the spectacular Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru National Park, before continuing to Amboseli, renowned for its large elephant herds and magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Travel in a 4×4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, accompanied by a professional English-speaking driver-guide. For travellers seeking greater flexibility, we recommend a private safari, allowing more time at important wildlife sightings and a safari schedule tailored around your interests.
Our 8 Days Great Migration Safari Kenya is ideal for couples, families, photographers, friends and wildlife enthusiasts looking for an immersive Kenya safari rather than a rushed wildlife tour.
