The Great Migration is one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, and 350,000 gazelle traverse the Serengeti ecosystem in a clockwise circuit driven by rainfall and grass growth.
When to See the Migration
January–March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu. Witness thousands of births and predator action.
June–July: The herds move northwest towards the Western Corridor. Grumeti River crossings begin.
August–October: The dramatic Mara River crossings in the Northern Serengeti. This is the most iconic phase — crocodiles, rushing water, and sheer determination.
November–December: The herds return south as the short rains begin.
Where to Stay
We offer tented camps that move with the migration, ensuring you're always in the right place at the right time. Our 5-day Migration Safari is specifically designed to follow the herds.
