Nature's Greatest Spectacle
The Great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is the planet's most extraordinary wildlife phenomenon—a breathtaking, year-round circular journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by 400,000 zebras and 300,000 gazelles, across the vast Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. This epic migration covers 1,800 miles in a continuous search for fresh grasslands and water, driven by ancient survival instincts and seasonal rainfall patterns.
Witnessing this monumental movement is more than just a safari—it's observing one of Earth's last great wilderness spectacles. From the dramatic river crossings where crocodiles lie in wait to the calving season that paints the plains with newborn life, every moment tells a story of survival, instinct, and the raw power of nature.
The Annual Migration Cycle
December - March: Calving Season
Southern Serengeti plains come alive with over 500,000 wildebeest calves born within 2-3 weeks, attracting predators for dramatic encounters.
April - June: Grumeti River Crossing
Herds move westward toward the Grumeti River, facing crocodile-infested waters in one of the migration's first major challenges.
July - October: Mara River Crossing
The migration's most famous spectacle as thousands plunge into crocodile-filled waters to reach Kenya's Masai Mara grasslands.
November: Return Journey
Following the short rains, herds begin their journey back to the southern Serengeti, completing nature's greatest circular migration.
