Wildebeest Migration Wonder of the World – FAQs
We usually get many questions from people who would like to experience the wildebeest migration of Kenya. Here are some of the commonly asked questions about the Masai Mara migration.
1. What Month is the Great Migration in Kenya?
The great wildebeest migration takes place in Kenya between July and October. At this time, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, antelopes, and eland will have circled back from Tanzania’s Serengeti Game Reserve, arriving at the Mara River in July.
However, there is no set date when the migration begins and ends, as the animals have intrinsic knowledge of when to move to the Masai Mara and when to go back to the Serengeti.
2. What is the Best Time to Visit Kenya?
Ideally, the best time to visit Kenya is between July and October, when the wildebeest migration occurs. However, Masai Mara is a vast, wildlife-rich park that will thrill you regardless of what time of the year you visit.
In other words, you will still see numerous animals and have a wonderful trip, no matter the time of the year. Spending Easter, Christmas, or New Year in the wild can be remarkable.
3. How Much Does Kenya Migration Safari Cost?
Several factors determine the cost of a Kenya animal migration safari or Masai Mara migrations safari. One of these factors is the duration of your stay. The longer you stay, the higher the cost.
Another factor is where you stay. The Mara has all types of accommodation, ranging from budget to super luxurious. Again, your preferences here will determine costs.
The means of transport is another factor. Flying, for instance, is faster but more expensive. If you are going by road, taking a 4*4 safari jeep/land cruisers will be more costly than a nine-seater open rooftop van.
Lastly, if you want to enjoy extra activities such as a balloon ride, helicopter excursion, or romantic bush dinner, these may push your cost higher.
On average, this is an example of how much you can expect to spend at the Masai Mara for two people sharing.
- A budget Kenya migration Safari package costs anything from \$300 per person sharing per day.
- A mid-luxury Kenya migration safari package costs as little as \$450 per person sharing per day.
- An all-inclusive luxury Kenya migration safari package costs anything from \$700 per person per day
4. How Many Days Do You Need in Masai Mara?
As mentioned, the Masai Mara is a vast park. During the wildebeest migration in Kenya, we recommend that you plan a minimum of 3-night or 4-day. Of course, the longer you stay, the more chances you will see more, particularly during the great migration.
If you are short of time, we advise a minimum of two nights at the very least.
5. How Do You Get to the Masai Mara?
There are two main ways of getting to the Masai Mara, and we can arrange either based on your preferences. First, you can fly to the Masai Mara from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. This takes about 45 minutes.
The second option is to go by road, which takes about six hours, either by a 4*4 land cruiser or pop-up van. You can hire a private van for your party or share it with other guests for the road trip.
