How to best experience the Serengeti National Park Migration?

To best experience the Serengeti National Park Migration, timing is crucial. The wildebeest migration follows a predictable, yet dynamic, annual pattern. Peak viewing often occurs during the river crossings. These happen around July and August in the Grumeti River. Later, the Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti are spectacular. Consider a hot air balloon safari at dawn. This offers a unique perspective of the herds. We tailor your safari to maximize your chances of witnessing key events.

Serengeti National Park Migration in Kenya

While the migration predominantly takes place in Tanzania's Serengeti, its influence extends significantly into Kenya. Specifically, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is a vital part of this cycle. Many herds move into Kenya from July to October. This offers incredible viewing opportunities. For travelers in Kenya, accessing the Mara during this period is highly recommended. Wageni Safaris can seamlessly integrate this experience into your Kenyan safari. We leverage our local knowledge for optimal viewing.
