Wildebeest Migration Safaris

The Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

Experience Africa's Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Migration in Africa is a spectacle that die-hard safari lovers have at the top of their bucket lists. It’s arguably Mother Nature’s greatest wildlife show, with millions of wildebeest, followed by gazelle and zebra, traversing across the Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya

Naturally, hungry predators follow suit, which makes for exhilarating wildlife sightings! There’s only one way to go, and that’s forward, so it’s survival of the fittest all the way.

Following this journey is a little bit more tricky than your standard safari, and knowing when to be where is important as the animals are constantly on the move. An African safari including the Great Migration Safari is something that everyone needs to experience at least once in their lifetime. 

There’s the sheer volume of wildebeests and zebras dotted as far as the eye can see across the plains. The vulnerable young calves graze beside their mothers. And the hungry predators watching every move. Discover an unforgettable journey through East Africa that few are ever privy to: Each location offers scenery that epitomizes an Eden-like East Africa with no crowds or towns for miles. 

Because the Serengeti is one of the world’s oldest ecosystems, it’s possible the Great Migration has been happening for millennia. The herds settle in the southern Serengeti between January and March to give birth and feed on the fertile plains before moving northwards.

The herds don’t all move together — groups split off, leave at different times or go to different areas within the Serengeti. Some might even stay behind if there’s enough grass to sustain them. It means you can go at almost any time of year and still see signs of migration.
