Understanding the Great Migration

The Great Migration is not a single event, it is a continuous cycle. Over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle traverse the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in an endless loop driven by rainfall and grass growth.

When to Go

July–October for river crossings. January–February for calving season. Each offers a completely different, equally extraordinary experience.
