Serengeti Migration Safaris

Serengeti Migration Safaris offer one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth—the Great Wildebeest Migration. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, move in a continuous cycle across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water.

What Is the Great Migration?

The Great Migration is a natural, year-round movement of animals between Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and the Maasai Mara (Kenya). It is driven by rainfall patterns and is famous for dramatic river crossings and predator action.
