Great Wildebeest Migration

Serengeti & Masai Mara

Serengeti is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world with migration happening all year round. Every year over 2 million wildebeests, 700000 zebras migrate between Tanzania’s Serengeti south and north. Later around August to November, they cross to Kenya’s Masai Mara.

From the months of December to March it offers exceptional predator encounters in Tanzania’s Southern Serengeti and Ndutu Area part of Ngorongoro – marking the calving season for the wildebeest whose newborns become easy predator targets. Around June they are in Grumeti where you can witness the first river crossings along the Grumeti River. By July, the herds are heading north into the Northern Serengeti where the wildebeest make their first river crossing of Mara River and take their chances against the waiting crocodiles.
