Experience the Great Wildlife Migration Safari with Authentic Maasai Safaris
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of nature’s most incredible spectacles, drawing wildlife enthusiasts from all over the world to witness the raw beauty of Africa. At Authentic Maasai Safaris, we bring you closer to the heart of this breathtaking phenomenon, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience.
How Does the Great Migration Happen?
The Great Migration is a continuous, circular journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands and water. The migration is driven by seasonal rains and natural survival instincts, with predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles lying in wait along the way.
When and Where to Witness the Migration
The Great Migration moves in a predictable pattern throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience different dramatic moments of the journey:
- December – March: Calving season in the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Plains), where thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators.
- April – June: The herds start moving northwards, facing their first major obstacle, the Grumeti River, teeming with crocodiles.
- July – October: The iconic Mara River crossing occurs, a heart-stopping moment where thousands of wildebeest plunge into the river, evading hungry crocodiles and big cats.
- November: The herds begin their journey back to the Serengeti, completing the cycle.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to witness the Great Migration depends on which stage of the journey you want to see:
- June to October – Ideal for the dramatic river crossings at the Mara and Grumeti Rivers.
- January to March – Best for the calving season, offering excellent predator action and photographic opportunities.
- April and May – Low season with fewer tourists but excellent game viewing and lush landscapes.
