Wildebeest herd streaming across the Serengeti plains

Safari Experiences

Great Migration Safaris

Following nearly two million animals across the Serengeti

Best time

January to March (calving) and July to October (crossings)

Suited to

Wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, return visitors

Pace

Active — early starts and long game drives

The experience

The migration never stops, and it is never in the same place twice. Rather than sell a fixed route, we position your camps month by month — calving grounds in the south from January, the western corridor mid-year, and the Mara River crossings in the north from July.

Camps that move with the herds

Mobile tented camps relocate seasonally, keeping you within reach of the action.

Timing advice, honestly given

If your dates do not suit crossings, we will tell you and suggest what the herds will actually be doing.

Predators in numbers

Where the herds go, lion, cheetah, hyena and crocodile follow.
