7-Day Mara River Crossing Safari
Split nights between a quiet conservancy and a camp near the river so your guide can follow the herds to the crossing points.
A 7-day Mara River crossing safari
This 7-day Mara River crossing safari is built around the migration's most dramatic moment. You split your nights between a quiet conservancy and a camp close to the river, so your guide can be at the crossing points when the herds gather.
Crossings can't be predicted to the day, which is why several days near the river matter more than anything else on this trip.
Highlights
- Several days close to the Mara River
- Conservancy nights with night drives and walks
- Late July to October
- Short flights from Nairobi
