What You Need To Know About Wildebeest Migration Safaris

 

The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, move in a circular journey between Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Maasai Mara, following seasonal rains in search of fresh grazing.

The migration is year-round, but different highlights occur at different times.

  • January–March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti — a dramatic period with thousands of newborn calves and increased predator action.

  • June–July: Massive herds move north, preparing for river crossings.

  • July–October: Iconic Mara River crossings in northern Serengeti and Maasai Mara — the most thrilling and popular time to visit.

  • November–December: Herds return south as short rains begin.

Guests should expect long game drives, dramatic predator encounters, and unforgettable landscapes. Early booking is recommended, especially during river-crossing months, as lodges fill quickly. This safari is ideal for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime African experience.
