The Great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration safari

Serengeti Wildebeest Migration safari

Embark on an extraordinary adventure with our Serengeti Wildebeest Migration safari, where you'll witness one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth. As millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other wildlife traverse the Serengeti plains in search of greener pastures, you'll be awestruck by the sheer magnitude of this annual migration.

 

Choose the convenience of flying from either Zanzibar or Arusha to reach the heart of the Serengeti, where you'll stay in a range of accommodations tailored to your preferences, from budget-friendly options to luxurious lodges. Experience the thrill of safari while indulging in comfort and luxury amidst Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes.

The Wildebeest Migration - Every year, about two million wildebeest, zebra, topi, and antelope cross the huge Serengeti Plains in Tanzania to the lush rolling grasslands of Kenya's Masai Mara. The crossing is 1,800 miles challenging and lengthy, with many animals falling prey to Africa's lions, leopards, and cheetahs, not to mention the crocodiles that wait each year for the first wildebeest to cross the Grumeti and Mara rivers. Seeing the huge number of animals in the wildebeest migration, as well as the drama and activity that this remarkable natural display elicits, is nothing short of amazing.

🦓 6 Frequently Asked Questions for Serengeti Migration Safari

1. What is the best time to see the Serengeti Migration in 2025?
👉 The best time to witness the Serengeti Great Migration in 2025 is from June to October, especially around the Mara River crossings in Northern Serengeti (Kogatende and Lamai areas).
 
2. Where is the best place to stay during the Migration?
👉 For the river crossings, it's ideal to stay in Northern Serengeti camps (Kogatende or Lamai). If visiting earlier (May-June), central Serengeti (Seronera) offers great sightings of herds moving north.
 
3. How long should I spend on a Migration Safari?
👉 We recommend at least 4 to 6 days to maximize your chances of seeing river crossings and following the herds across different parts of the park.
 
4. What type of safari is best for watching the Migration — Drive-in or Fly-in?
👉 Fly-in safaris are highly recommended. You save time by flying directly to the heart of the action in Serengeti, instead of spending long hours driving from Arusha or other cities.
 
5. Is it guaranteed to see the Wildebeest River Crossing?
👉 Since wildlife is unpredictable, no sighting can be 100% guaranteed. However, visiting between mid-July and mid-September gives you the highest chances to witness dramatic river crossings.
 
6. What should I pack for a Serengeti Migration Safari?
👉 Bring light clothing for daytime, a jacket for cool mornings and evenings, a good camera with zoom lens, binoculars, hat, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes. A small waterproof bag is also handy in case of rain showers.
