Witnessing the Spectacle: The Serengeti Great Migration

The Great Migration in the Serengeti is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring events. Millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing, following the rains. This colossal movement of animals is a continuous cycle, generally moving clockwise through the Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya's Maasai Mara.

• Key moments include the dramatic river crossings, where herds face crocodiles and treacherous currents.
• The calving season, where thousands of young are born on the southern plains.

Planning a trip to witness the migration requires careful timing and an understanding of the herds' general location throughout the year. Learn about the best times to visit and what to expect from this incredible wildlife phenomenon. We also provide tips on choosing a responsible safari operator.
