Best Time for the Great Migration

Timing your journey is essential to witness one of the most breathtaking spectacles of the natural world.
  • July to September (River Crossings): The most dramatic phase, as herds brave crocodile-infested waters at the Mara River between the Serengeti and Masai Mara.
  • January to March (Calving Season): The herds congregate in the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu). This is a time of new life, attracting high predator activity.
  • June to July (The Trek North): The migration moves through the Western Corridor, featuring dramatic crossings of the Grumeti River.
