With this much fresh prey arriving, you won’t be the only interested party – the all-star cast is now joined by lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyena, all looking for a lucrative part in this high-stakes action-thriller. The Masai Mara provides a front-row seat to this epic journey, offering unparalleled opportunities to witness dramatic river crossings, exhilarating predator-prey interactions, and the sheer magnitude of the wildlife spectacle. It is a testament to the resilience and natural wonders that unfold in one of Africa's most iconic ecosystems, making the wildebeest migration a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those fortunate enough to witness it. The migration typically takes place between July and October in the Masai Mara but can change yearly.
