Witness the Big Five in Two Iconic Parks

Spectacular Views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli

For those traveling between July and October, this Great Migration safari in Masai Mara offers a front-row seat to the movement of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and antelope across the Mara River, pursued by hungry predators. This spectacle is one of the most incredible natural events on Earth.
