The migration does not start exactly at the same time each year.

Though the Mara has good numbers of wildlife all year around, it is more lively during the annual Great wildebeest migration when it is estimated that close to a million plus animals migrate into the reserve from Serengeti National park in the south. There is also strict control over vehicle numbers around animal sightings which means a better, more authentic, experience when out on a game drive.
The conservancy rangers patrol regularly which means that there is almost no poaching and therefore excellent game viewing. There are several camps that lie outside the reserve but close to Oloololo Gate of the Mara Triangle, which means in turn that guests staying at these camps will normally be brought into the Mara Triangle area for their game drives. Although one third of the Mara, the Mara Triangle has only two properties within its boundaries (compared to the numerous camps and lodges on the Narok side) and has well maintained, all weather gravel roads. The best kept secret of the Mara is the Mara Triangle, the north western part of the Maasai Mara which is managed by the Mara Conservancy on behalf of Trans-Mara County Council - the rest of the reserve falls under Narok County Council. The "Big Nine" are the lion ( Panthera leo), the African elephant ( Loxodonta africana), the leopard ( Panthera pardus), the African (Cape) buffalo ( Syncerus caffer), the white rhino ( Ceratotherium simum), the cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus), the giraffe ( Giraffa camelopardalis), the zebra ( Equus quagga) and the hippo ( Hippopotamus amphibius). It is notable that Masai Mara is one of the few wildlife reserves in Africa where it is possible to see not only the "Big Five" but also the "Big Nine" Animals within a day's game drive. The reserve is especially famous for the high amount of predators, such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, and the 1½ million wildebeest which migrate through the Mara and cross the crocodile infested Mara river. The Maasai Mara National Reserve (also Masai Mara) is visited by thousands of tourists each year, who come here to watch the many different wildlife and birdlife species in the reserve. It is one of the best known and most popular reserves in Africa. The Maasai Mara is not a National Park, but rather a National Reserve belonging to the Maasai people and administered by the local county councils. Maasai Mara National Reserve is in the southwest of Kenya. Rainbow at Masaai Mara Sunset over the spotted Masaai Mara plains
