The Great Migration
About 1.5 million wildebeest circle the Serengeti and Mara on a loop set by the rains.
About The Great Migration
Calving runs around Ndutu in the southern Serengeti in February, and the Mara River crossings run from July to October on both sides of the border. The herds follow the rain, so we place camps against the forecast for your dates, and sometimes that means a mobile camp. Book early for August, when the best crossing camps fill first.
