The Great Migration
One of nature’s most dramatic spectacles, the Great Migration sees millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traverse the plains of Tanzania and Kenya, crossing crocodile-filled rivers and evading predators in search of fresh grazing. Every moment is shaped by the rhythm of the wild, as instincts forged over millennia unfold before your eyes.
- Where does the Great Migration unfold?
The Great Migration unfolds across Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Kenya's Maasai Mara, following a circular route of roughly 1,000 miles.
- Why travel with A&K for the Great Migration?
Our expert guides track the movement of the herds, while strategically located camps and lodges place you close to the action as it unfolds.
- What wildlife can you expect to see?
Alongside vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, you could spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants and crocodiles drawn to the migration.
- When is the best time to see the Great Migration?
A year-round spectacle, the Great Migration shifts with the seasons: calving season unfolds in the southern Serengeti from December to March; from April to July, the herds trek north through the central and western Serengeti, following dwindling water sources and fresh grazing; dramatic Mara River crossings peak between August and September; and October to November sees more than a million wildebeest begin their journey south as the rains return to Tanzania.
