Few natural spectacles compare to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing land. It’s a cycle of survival filled with heart-stopping moments.

Key Stages of the Migration

• December – March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti. Thousands of wildebeest calves are born within weeks, drawing predators like lions and cheetahs.
• April – June: Herds begin their journey northward, creating incredible scenes of endless columns of animals.
• July – August: The dramatic Mara River crossings, where crocodiles lurk and predators wait, unfold.
• September – November: The herds spread out in the northern Serengeti before looping back south.
