Seasons of Wildlife: What to Expect in the Mara Month by Month

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.
