Where life and survival meet
Witness the Spellbinding Great Migration in Action!
The Serengeti Migration in Tanzania is one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on Earth, captivating wildlife lovers from around the world. Each year, over a million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, journey across the vast Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing and water. In a dramatic show of instinct and endurance, they brave crocodile-infested rivers and face predators lurking in the tall grass.
This ever-moving cycle of life and survival is both powerful and humbling to witness. Whether you’re watching thousands of hooves thunder across the plains or a tense river crossing unfold, every moment is unforgettable.
Book your safari today and experience the magic of the Great Migration in the heart of Tanzania.
How to plan your safari?
Planning a migration safari in the Serengeti takes more than just choosing dates — it’s about being in the right place at the right time. The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events, but it’s also a constantly moving phenomenon, driven by rainfall and the search for fresh grazing.
To witness the dramatic river crossings in the Northern Serengeti, the best time to visit is between July and October, when massive herds of wildebeest and zebra brave the crocodile-filled Mara River. For calving season — an equally fascinating period when thousands of newborns are born on the open plains — head to the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu region between December and March.
Beyond timing, your safari experience depends on other important factors like how long you want to travel, the type of accommodation you prefer (from adventurous camping to high-end lodges), and whether you’d like to include other destinations like Zanzibar, Lake Natron, or cultural visits.
