The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest mass movement of land mammals on Earth, involving over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles. This continuous, circular, year-round journey takes place across the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania and Kenya’s Maasai Mara, driven by the search for fresh grazing and water. The most famous highlights are the dramatic river crossings (Jun–Oct) and the intense calving season (Jan–Mar) on the southern plains.
A 6-day safari focused on the Wildebeest Migration is designed to maximize your time in the heart of the action, focusing entirely on the massive herds as they move across the Serengeti and surrounding areas. The exact itinerary changes dramatically depending on the month of travel, ensuring you are positioned for the most thrilling encounters—whether it’s the intense calving season, the dramatic river crossings, or the concentrated grazing. This is an unparalleled opportunity to witness the raw power of nature.
