Plan your safari with our month-by-month guide to wildlife in Mara North Conservancy, from migration drama to birdwatching highlights.

Wildlife thrives in Mara North Conservancy year-round, but every month brings something unique. This month-by-month guide helps Hemingways River Camp guests decide the best time to visit based on their interests.

Month-by-Month Highlights

  • January–March: Calving season, when wildebeest and antelope give birth, attracting predators.
  • April–June: Green season, quieter with fewer visitors, excellent for birding and photography.
  • July–October: The Great Migration dominates, with dramatic river crossings and predator action.
  • November–December: Migratory birds arrive, while resident wildlife remains abundant.

Choosing Your Season

There is no wrong time to visit Mara North. Whether you seek predator activity, colourful birdlife, or the drama of the migration, River Camp offers front-row experiences.
