Great Migration Safari

Follow over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra on their year-round circuit through the Serengeti ecosystem.

About This Experience

The Great Migration isn’t a single event — it’s a continuous, year-round movement of over a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra following the rains across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. We track where the herds are before every trip and build your route around them, whether that means the dramatic Mara River crossings of July–September or the calving season chaos of the southern plains in January–March.

Why Travel With Us

  • Positioned camps and routing based on current herd movements
  • River crossing viewing in the northern Serengeti (seasonal)

Migration Calendar

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee we'll see a river crossing?

No operator honestly can — it's a wild, unscheduled event. What we can do is position you in the right area at the right time of year to give it the best possible chance.

What's the best month for the migration?

It depends what you want to see. We'll ask about your priorities — crossings, calving, or just strong general game viewing — and recommend accordingly.
