Great Migration

4 tours · 2 destinations

The Great Migration is the largest overland movement of animals on the planet: well over a million wildebeest and zebra circling the Serengeti in search of grass and water. We time these safaris to the herds — the dramatic calving season on the southern plains around January to March, and the tense Mara and Grumeti river crossings from roughly June to October.

When to go

The migration is always somewhere on the Serengeti — the art is matching your dates to the herds. January to March is calving season on the southern short-grass plains around Ndutu, with predators close behind. The dramatic Grumeti and Mara river crossings unfold roughly from June in the west and July to October in the north. We plan each trip around where the herds should be.
