Serengeti Migration

Witness the Serengeti Migration Up Close

The Serengeti Migration is one of the most breathtaking wildlife events in the world. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing lands. This incredible journey is filled with dramatic river crossings, predator action, and stunning landscapes that make it a must-see for any safari lover.

The Great Journey of the Serengeti Migration

This movement of animals is driven by the rains and the need for food. It starts in the southern Serengeti, where thousands of calves are born between January and March. As the dry season approaches, the herds begin their journey north, facing challenges such as crocodile-infested rivers and hungry predators like lions and cheetahs.

By July, they reach the famous Mara River, where one of the most intense moments of the Serengeti Migration takes place—the dramatic river crossings. The strong currents and lurking crocodiles make this part of the journey both dangerous and fascinating to watch.

As the year ends, the herds move back to the southern Serengeti, completing their cycle and preparing for a new generation to begin the journey again.

Best Time to See the Serengeti Migration

The timing of the Serengeti Migration depends on nature, but in general:

January to March – Calving season in the southern Serengeti. This is the best time to see newborns and predator action.

April to June – The herds move northwest, crossing the central Serengeti and heading toward the Grumeti River.

July to October – The famous Mara River crossings happen during this period. This is one of the most thrilling moments of the migration.

November to December – The herds begin their journey back south, completing the cycle.

Why See the Serengeti Migration?

The Serengeti Migration is not just about movement; it’s a story of survival. The cycle of life plays out in front of your eyes, with predators waiting for the perfect moment to strike and new life beginning every day. Whether it’s the sight of thousands of wildebeest moving in sync, the raw power of a lion hunting, or the breathtaking crossings of the Mara River, every moment is unforgettable.
