Every year, millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles move between the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya, following the rains and the promise of fresh grazing. It’s one of nature’s greatest spectacles, and choosing the right safari type can make all the difference in how you experience it.
We’ve designed our safari types to suit every kind of traveler. Whether you’re looking for a luxury lodge safari, a private guided experience, or a classic safari, our packages are planned around the migration’s movement to give you the best possible sightings.
The best places to witness the Wildebeest Migration are spread across Kenya and Tanzania, where the herds move in a continuous loop following the rains. In Tanzania, the Serengeti National Park is the heart of the migration, offering incredible sightings throughout the year. The Southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area host the calving season from January to March, while the Western and Grumeti regions come alive between May and June with thrilling river crossings. By July, the herds move to the Northern Serengeti, near Kogatende and Lamai, preparing to cross into Kenya.
Once the herds reach Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve between July and October, the action peaks at the Mara River crossings, one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles. Massive herds, prowling predators, and vast golden plains make the Mara one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Each of these locations offers a unique migration experience, and together they form the ultimate circuit for anyone seeking the best Wildebeest Migration safari in East Africa.
