The Great Wildebeest Migration

Experience one of the greatest natural wonders on Earth — the Great Wildebeest Migration, a breathtaking journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, as they move through the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh grazing.

This epic annual cycle follows the rhythm of the rains, spanning over 1,800 miles across treacherous rivers, sweeping savannahs, and predator-filled plains. It’s a raw, unfiltered display of life, survival, and instinct in action — and a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it.

The migration offers unforgettable moments:

The exact timing of the Great Wildebeest Migration is completely dependent upon rainfall patterns, making it a difficult thing to predict with any certainty. A particularly heavy or light rainfall might completely alter the movement of the massive herd, so it is best to get daily updates leading in to your trip.

That being said, there is a rough calendar that can usually be relied upon.
