Maasai Mara experiences two main seasons: the dry season (June to October) and the wet season (November to May). The dry season is the peak time for wildlife viewing, particularly during the Great Migration. In contrast, the wet season brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists, making it a great time for birdwatching and experiencing the bush in its vibrant colors.
