SERENGETI WILDEBEEST MIGRATION

The Serengeti Migration, also known as the Great Migration, is one of the most breathtaking wildlife spectacles on Earth. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, embark on a relentless journey across the vast plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Maasai Mara Reserve in search of fresh grazing lands and water.

This epic migration, driven by seasonal rains, covers nearly 1,800 miles (2,900 km) and is filled with dramatic river crossings, predator encounters, and the constant struggle for survival.

It is a dynamic and ever-changing cycle that showcases the raw beauty and harsh realities of the African wilderness, making it one of the most iconic wildlife experiences in the world.

Best time to see wildebeest migration

The best time to see the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration depends on which part of this spectacular journey you want to witness. From January to March, the herds gather in the southern Serengeti for the calving season, attracting predators like lions and cheetahs. Between April and June, they move northward, with dramatic river crossings starting in June and July at the Grumeti River. The most famous crossings at the Mara River happen between July and October, offering heart-pounding action as wildebeest face crocodile-infested waters. By November and December, the herds return south, completing their annual cycle. Each phase of the migration offers a unique and breathtaking experience!

1. Calving Season (January – March)

📍 Southern Serengeti (Ndutu, Ngorongoro Conservation Area)

  • Thousands of wildebeest give birth.
  • Best time to see predators (lions, cheetahs, hyenas) hunting.
  • Lush landscapes with plenty of newborns.

📍 Western Serengeti & Grumeti Reserve

  • The herds start moving north.
  • First dramatic river crossings (not as intense as the Mara River crossings).
  • Dry season begins, making game viewing easier.

📍 Northern Serengeti (Tanzania) & Masai Mara (Kenya)

  • Most dramatic crossings happen at the Mara River.
  • Thousands of wildebeest and zebras attempt to cross crocodile-infested waters.
  • Best chance to see large predators in action.

📍 Central Serengeti & Southern Serengeti

  • Herds start migrating south from Masai Mara.
  • Good time for less crowded safaris before the cycle starts again.
  • July – October → Best for dramatic Mara River crossings.
  • January – March → Best for calving & predator action.
  • May – June → Great for fewer crowds & early river crossings.
