Hi William, I am lucky to be able to visit Masai mara many times as I live in the region and have been to the area all times of the year but tend to be before r after the rains. Quite agree that there are many great opportunities to visit outside of the migration where there are fewer visitors but with great sightings. Looking forward to seeing if the Narok County attempts to manage numbers through the Park fee increases has the desired impact. Just took a family member to the Mara for their first ever safari and it was epic, Cheetahs, several different leopard sightings including a kill, elephants, herbivores, hyenas, three different lion prides etc. The smaller creatures and bird life were also fun to watch, banded mongoose, reptiles etc. I had the privilege of doing the Pangolin long stay Chobe trip in January which was exceedingly good value and also a fantastic and different experience. Pangolin are a really excellent company that should be on every wildlife photographers bucket list.
I've been several times in the Masai Mara, in August, September, December and this year in February and it is always amazing! We saw a lot of different animals, every day lions. We had no rain in February but the grass was a bit long due to havy rainfall in December and January.
We just returned from a 3 week safari starting in North Kenya at Somboro and ending at the Crater in TZ. The Mara was fabulous, we saw every animal from large and small carnivore to a family of Bat eared Foxes and every thing in between. The rains had stopped around March 1 and we didn’t have any moisture until March 18, which allowed us to have blue sky and clear nights for drives. Our Maasai guides were able to show us the whole animal package and their culture.
So far I've only been to the Mara in early June. Personally I'm not fond of crowds, so I figured beginning of dry season just before it starts to get a bit crazy was right for me. Still had plenty of sightings, Lions are Leopards gain lots of attention. It can interfere a little, when vehicles are constantly trying to get a better position. Overall still amazing and exceeded expectations, cant wait to return again
Hello William, really nice place with lots of photographic opportunities. February seems like a great time to visit the Masai Mara. Really amazing photos and videos! Greetings from Germany Uwe
@@PangolinWildlife wow, I am Really fortunate to have that chance 🙏🏻♥️😇 thank you so much seeing ur positive thoughts here is really great and I appreciate it very much, hopefully and God willing sooner🙏🏻😇🥰
Have you been to The Masai Mara? What time of year did you go?
We were there last August. Seeing the Crowned Cranes in this video is tempting to think about a February trip. We missed on them when we were there.
@@rerolley you know where to find us! Our safari in Feb is also going to Amboseli and Samburu. Did you see the link in the description?

August, it was a bit crowded but that's OK, I loved the non-migration sightings just as much. Vistas are unreal! Weather was perfect too.
