Use this as dated planning intelligence. Wildlife sightings and movement can change quickly with rainfall, food, disturbance and local conditions.

Movement and habitat picture

Movement summary

TANAPA’s revised June 2024 Mara River crossing guideline confirms the Great Migration as a defining Serengeti-Mara ecosystem feature and sets vehicle behaviour around designated crossing points. This is not a live herd-location report.

Habitat conditions

Conditions and herd locations change with rainfall, grazing and river conditions; the source is guidance for crossing areas rather than a current movement feed.

Sighting context

Use this record to understand Mara River crossing behaviour and visitor rules, not to promise a crossing on a specific date.

Planning advice

For a current itinerary, combine this official planning baseline with recent local reports close to travel dates. Never market one fixed river crossing or herd position as guaranteed.
