The Great Migration is one of nature's most spectacular events, involving over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and thousands of gazelles moving across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.
What is the Great Migration?
The Great Migration is a continuous, year-round movement of animals following the rains and fresh grazing. It's not a single event but a cycle that has been happening for thousands of years.
When to See the Migration
January - March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti. Witness thousands of births daily and predator action.
April - May: The herds begin moving north through the western corridor. Green season with fewer tourists.
June - July: River crossings begin at the Grumeti River. Dramatic crocodile encounters.
August - October: The famous Mara River crossings. Peak season for dramatic wildlife viewing.
November - December: The herds return south following the short rains.
Best Camps for the Migration
We recommend mobile camps that follow the herds, ensuring you're always in the right place at the right time. Our expert guides know exactly where to position you for the best viewing.
Booking Tips
Book at least 6-12 months in advance for peak migration season. Camps fill up quickly, especially for July-October river crossings.
