= Excellent: Best time to visit Masai Mara or simply the best of the year to see the Great Migration in full swing is July - October each. Lodges move into their peak season pricing given the incredible wildlife sightings on offer. Advisable to book far in advance for this dry season. Jan & Feb make for another great time to go on Safari.

= Good: The short rains (Nov & Dec) set-in during this period which offers respite from the heat and soaring lodge prices. Still a good time to view lush savannahs, migratory birds and new born animals.

= Fair: The period of long rains mean animal sightings are in limited supply given the abundance of vegetation and extensive downpour. Mornings are still good for game viewing and lodges are offering their best deals at this point.
