The Great Migration is the world’s largest overland wildlife journey — and seeing it up close is pure safari magic. Over 1.5 million wildebeest, with thousands of zebras and gazelles, move in a vast circle each year, chasing fresh grasses and water.

Depending on when you travel, you could witness newborn calves taking their first steps in the Ndutu woodlands (Dec–Mar), tense predator hunts near the Grumeti River (May–July), or dramatic Mara River crossings (July–October), where crocodiles lurk as herds plunge into fast-flowing water.

Your experienced guide tracks the best sightings daily, putting you in the heart of the action. Pair this with a hot air balloon flight for a jaw-dropping aerial view of the moving herds.

Best Months:

• Dec–Mar: Calving in Ndutu

• May–July: Grumeti River crossings

• July–Oct: Mara River crossings

Tip: Herds move daily — some luck helps! Flexible itineraries get you closer.
