The Great Migration: Timing Your Serengeti Safari

June 17, 2026

The Great Migration is a year-round cycle of over 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebras, and countless other animals moving across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing.

July to October sees the dramatic river crossings in the Masai Mara — the most iconic Migration moment. December to March brings the calving season in the southern Serengeti, when thousands of wildebeest calves are born daily.

Booking 6-12 months ahead is essential for Migration safaris, especially for river crossing periods when demand peaks.
