The Serengeti migration
Timing the herds: where to be, how long to stay, and when to fly
The migration moves across the Serengeti all year. Our full guide shows where the herds are each month, why we hold to a two-night minimum in every migration area (three in the north), and why we fly you into the northern Serengeti instead of driving a full day each way.
- Two-night minimumWe never sell single-night migration stops — one afternoon and one morning is not enough to find the herds.
- Fly into the northA two-hour flight to Kogatende beats 9–11 hours on rough road and gives you back nearly two full game days.
