Best Time for the Great Migration

Follow the world's greatest wildlife spectacle across Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara.

Witness Africa’s Greatest Wildlife Spectacle

The Great Migration is one of the most breathtaking natural events on Earth. Every year, over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles journey across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands.

This spectacular movement stretches from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park into Kenya’s Maasai Mara Reserve, attracting predators, photographers and safari travellers from around the world.

Best Months to Visit

July to October is considered the prime season for witnessing dramatic Mara River crossings in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. Meanwhile, January to March offers incredible calving season experiences in Tanzania’s southern Serengeti.
