However, July to October is particularly popular as it coincides with the Great Migration, when large herds of wildebeest and zebras move between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. Please note that while this is the best period to witness migration activity, river crossings cannot be guaranteed, as they depend on rainfall, river levels, and the natural movement of the animals.
