8-Day Serengeti Great Migration Safari
The wildebeest migration moves through different parts of the Serengeti ecosystem during the year. This itinerary is therefore adapted to the month you travel, current wildlife conditions and the camps that place you closest to the action.
From roughly December to March, the focus is usually the southern plains and Ndutu. From June to July, the western corridor may be important. From July to October, the northern Serengeti becomes the main focus. Nature is never guaranteed, so we explain realistic expectations before you book.
