African Scenic Safaris Guide To The Wildebeest Migration

The Migration is one of nature’s greatest paradoxes: your timing is absolutely everything, but there is no way to predict the timing of the animals’ movement. We know that the wildebeest, and a smattering of zebra and antelope, will cross the Mara River, but we don’t know exactly when. We know that rain will trigger the same game to move on to fresh grazing, but we don’t know when that rain will come.

Fortunately, we’ve been planning Great Migration safaris since 2008 and our Director has spent over 20 years’ guiding Serengeti, so in combination we have a lot of experience in putting you in the best possible place at the best possible time, giving you the best possible chance to witness this spectacle.

Understanding the Wildebeest Migration helps you prepare better. In this section, we answer the most asked questions related to this unique experience in the Serengeti—part of our expertly crafted Tanzania Safari Tours.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is special as millions of animals move together through plains and rivers full of predators on a steady journey to stay alive. It is one of the most amazing wildlife events in the world.

The Mara River Crossings usually happen from July to October, but the dates change depending on how much rain there is. Our skilled staff at African Scenic Safaris looks for trends and puts you in the right area.

Yes. You can combine the Great Migration with trips to places like Tarangire or Ngorongoro Crater. Ask us how you can plan your trip around the best places for migration.

Of course. During the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles are very busy, especially near the Mara River. This gives safari-goers exciting opportunities to see wildlife.
