Frequently asked
Can I see the migration river crossings?+
Crossings are most likely between July and October. We position you close to the Mara River and plan flexible full days to maximise your chances.

Yes — resident lion, leopard, cheetah and plains game make the reserve rewarding all year, with fewer vehicles.
