Every year, over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in a clockwise direction through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of greener pastures. This breathtaking event is known as the Great Migration, and Tanzania holds the key to witnessing it.
December to March – Ndutu Plains (Southern Serengeti)
The calving season, where thousands of wildebeest are born each day. A predator’s paradise.
April to June – Central to Western Serengeti
Herds move slowly toward the Grumeti River. Expect action, mud, and dramatic crossings.
July to September – Northern Serengeti
River crossings at the Mara River are full of tension. Crocodiles await in the water—nature at its rawest.
October to November – Return to Southern Serengeti
The herds circle back south, completing their incredible cycle.
Book early—migration season is busy.
Consider mobile camps to stay close to the action.
Hire a guide who tracks migration movements daily.
The Great Migration isn’t just a wildlife event—it’s one of the most powerful natural spectacles on Earth. Experience it in Tanzania, and you’ll leave with stories to last a lifetime.
