Every year, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania plays host to one of the world’s most spectacular natural events – the Great Wildebeest Migration. This awe-inspiring spectacle sees over a million wildebeest, zebra, antelope, and gazelle migrate across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands, resulting in a truly unforgettable display of animal behavior and survival.
Our itinerary focuses on maximizing your chances of seeing this breathtaking event, specifically targeting the crucial period from late July to October. During this time, the migration moves north, passing through Serengeti’s Lobo and Wagakuria regions, ultimately heading towards Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. August sees the herds spread across both the northern Serengeti and the Mara, presenting numerous opportunities for incredible wildlife sightings.
The Heart of the Itinerary: Stalking the Migration
Witness the Great Migration and More: An Unforgettable Northern Tanzania Safari
Our journey is designed to follow the rhythm of the migration. We begin our exploration in the Serengeti National Park, focusing on the northern regions known for hosting the dramatic river crossings. Imagine yourself witnessing thousands of wildebeest hesitating on the riverbank, then, propelled by instinct and the pressure of the herd, plunging into the treacherous waters, braving crocodiles and strong currents. This is a truly unforgettable experience.
While the main migration heads north, remember that the Serengeti is a vast and dynamic ecosystem. Several large herds may remain behind in the Lobo and Wagakuria areas, and unpredictable weather patterns can even draw them back from the Mara. Our expert guides will leverage their local knowledge and experience to optimize your chances of witnessing the crossing and encountering these massive herds.
In October, as the rains begin to tempt the animals south, we will shift our focus accordingly, tracking the herds as they move towards the central Serengeti via the Lobo area. This ensures you’re always in the heart of the action.
This Northern Tanzania safari is more than just a trip; it’s an immersion into the heart of Africa’s wildness, a chance to witness the Great Migration, and a journey that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Book your adventure today and prepare to be awestruck!
