Great Migration

The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth and a must-see for every safari enthusiast. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, move in a circular journey across the Serengeti in Tanzania and into Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing land. This natural wonder is not only about the movement of animals but also about the dramatic encounters between predator and prey, creating unforgettable safari moments.

In the Serengeti, the migration offers a unique spectacle year-round. From December to March, the southern plains host the calving season, where thousands of wildebeest are born daily, attracting predators like lions and cheetahs. Between June and July, the herds push north, facing the iconic Grumeti River crossings, where crocodiles lie in wait. By August to October, the drama peaks at the Mara River, as wildebeest risk their lives crossing waters filled with crocodiles while big cats stalk from the banks.

Our Great Migration safaris are designed to put you at the right place at the right time, guided by expert driver-guides who track the movement of the herds. Whether you prefer luxury lodges, mid-range camps, or mobile tented camps that move with the migration, we offer options to suit your style and budget.

Witnessing the Great Migration is more than a safari it’s an unforgettable experience that connects you to nature’s raw power and rhythm.
