Wildlife migration season: Did you know?

The main tourist season is in January and February, when the weather is hot and dry. At this time, the animals in the wildlife parks tend to congregate more around the watercourses, making them easier to spot. From June to October, the annual wildebeest migration takes place, with thousands of animals streaming into the Masai Mara National Reserve from the Serengeti.  During the long rains (the low season, spanning from March to the end of May) things are much quieter. Wildlife is harder to spot and mosquitoes are rife, a combination that keeps most tourists away.
