Adventurous African Great Migration Safari Tours and Migration Sightings
What is the Great Wildebeest Migration?
Over the years, Wildebeest Sightings has been following the wildebeest migration from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya, studying and understanding their behaviors.
The sole purpose of our herdtracker website is to keep our followers and safari guests in the know of where the wildebeest herds are so they can plan their great migration safari during the season.
A better way to explain the great wildebeest migration is to understand that more than 1.5 million animals, wildebeests being the majority, migrate for about 1000 km round trip every year, looking for food and better conditions for mating and birthing, commonly known as wildebeest calving.

When is the best time to see the wildebeest migration?
The best time to see the Great Migration is during July, August, September, and October. To see the famous Mara River crossings, one should plan to see this spectacle during late July to August, with some activity seen in September as well. During this period, large herds tend to congregate in the northern Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya. If one wants to avoid the crowds but still see the herds, then early October or late June is advised as alternatives.
How long does the wildebeest migration last?
The migration of the wildebeest takes place throughout the year. It is not considered an event with a beginning and end date, but is more of a continuous process. Over 1.5 million wildebeest, as well as zebras and gazelles, are always migrating across the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in a clockwise direction due to the search for water and fresh grazing grass. Even though the wildebeest are crossing the rivers from July to September, a major tourist attraction, the migration takes place throughout the year.
How do I book a wildebeest migration safari?
To book a migration safari, you can contact our experts who specialize in East Africa to arrange a safari package to coincide with the herds’ movements during the season. The Great Migration is a year-round event, so you need to synchronize your trip with the movement of the herds. It is recommended to book at least 12-18 months in advance.
How much does a wildebeest migration safari cost?
The cost of wildebeest migration safaris varies between $800 and $1,000 or more per person per day, depending on the level of comfort you desire. The mid-range wildebeest migration safaris are between $3,500 and $7,500, while the luxury ones, which are all-inclusive, can go as high as $8,000 or more up to $30,000 or more for extended luxury safaris.
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania in one safari?
Yes, it is highly recommended that you combine Kenya and Tanzania into one safari. These two countries share a long border, and they both have the Serengeti-Masai Mara ecosystem, which means that you can easily see all the best sights that both countries have to offer, such as the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater, Amboseli, etc. The best way to do this is to spend at least two weeks on your safari, which can be arranged by our safari experts, who are waiting to assist you with your cross border safaris.
