The Great Migration: What You Need to Know

Migration locations vary slightly year-to-year depending on rainfall. Let us help you plan based on real-time movement.

December – March (Southern Serengeti)

Calving season in Ndutu. Thousands of baby wildebeest are born daily, attracting predators like lions and cheetahs.

April – June (Central to Western Corridor)

The herds begin moving north, crossing the Grumeti River where crocodiles lie in wait. Less crowded and beautifully green.

July – October (Northern Serengeti)

River crossings on the Mara River are at their most dramatic. Dust, danger, and chaos make for unforgettable scenes.
