Every year the herds follow the rains between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara. They usually reach the Mara around July and stay until October, crossing the Mara River on the way.

We plan your dates and lodge location around the herds so you have the best chance of seeing a river crossing.
