The Great Migration in Africa: Witness nature's grandest spectacle
Every year, I travel to witness The Great Migration in Africa. This is one of the most spectacular events in the natural world and is sometimes referred to as the “greatest show on earth”.
Witness majestic wildlife in Africa
If the Great Migration in Africa is something that you have always wanted to tick off your to-do list, then join me on safari to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration for yourself.
Take it from me, the Maasai Mara in Kenya is a location like no other place in Africa. The density of wildlife here is a wildlife photographer’s dream!
What is the Great Migration in Africa?
The African Great Migration is a movement of 1.5 million wildebeest with 400,000 zebra and 200,000 gazelles accompanying them along the way. It’s a unique and incredible spectacle - an experience not to be missed.
When is the Great Migration?
A total of over 2 million animals migrate from the Maasai Mara into the Serengeti in Tanzania between July and October.
Why join a wildlife photo safari to experience The Great Migration?
My 8-day trips to witness The Great Migration in Africa are available in July, August and September 2025 and are designed to maximise your wildlife experience.
Together, on safari, we’ll seek out migrating wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, antelope, hippo, elephant, and of course the Maasai Mara’s famous big cats. We might even see a lion kill, a cheetah chase, or a black rhino.
These Kenya wildlife safaris produce life-long memories and the images are often framed by the Mara’s famous sunrises, sunsets, and dramatic vistas.
The Great Migration Africa: A unique and mesmerising wildlife encounter
Prepare to be awe-struck as we will embark on a journey to encounter the incredible diversity of wildlife that calls the Maasai Mara home.
From the iconic Big Five to the majestic giraffes, graceful antelopes, and elusive predators, our safari promises unforgettable wildlife encounters. One moment you will be captivated by the drama of a lion kill, and the next be observing the elegance of a cheetah chase as we venture deep into the heart of the Mara.
You’ll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Africa as you traverse this iconic landscape. In the Maasai Mara, every corner reveals a new marvel of nature waiting to be discovered.
Just imagine how the earth trembles under the thundering hooves of millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles as they embark on their epic journey! It really is something you have to experience for yourself to appreciate the majesty of this incredible event.

Expert wildlife photography tuition and personalised guidance
For photography enthusiasts, our safari offers unparalleled opportunities to capture stunning images of Africa's iconic wildlife in their natural habitat.
As your guide, I can provide personal attention and customised assistance, helping you to capture stunning photographs of the wildlife we encounter together.

Wildlife safaris for professional photographers and non-photographers alike
It may surprise you to know that while these are guided photo safaris, non-photographers are equally welcome. An increasing number of our guests do not carry the large gear that photographers do but come to enjoy the spectacle.
Important note regarding the cost of visiting the Maasai Mara
One thing to be aware of is that the cost to witness The Great Migration in Africa, in the Maasai Mara, increased significantly in 2024. Park fees across Kenya increased in 2023, with the Maasai Mara's high season almost tripling in cost. In December 2023, costs increased again with the addition of a new community charge.
However, I know this is for the greater good of the Maasai Mara and its wildlife. Many of you who have been recently will be aware of the crowding of vehicles in some places and, then by extension, the impact on wildlife.
While the cost of experiencing the Great Migration in Africa may have increased, rest assured that every penny is a contribution to the conservation and preservation of the Maasai Mara and its inhabitants.
Our safari packages are designed to offer exceptional value, with all-inclusive amenities and expert guidance ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. Plus, with our exclusive returning guest discount, there's never been a better time to join us on safari. If you have travelled with me before, you are entitled to a 10% returning guest discount.
