The Great Wildebeest Migration
The precise timing of the Wildebeest Migration changes annually and it is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event.

The calving season
takes place in the Serengeti between the months of January and mid-March before
the Wildebeest Migration begins heading towards western Serengeti in June.
The best time to see the migration is usually between June and August when the wildebeest congregate and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River (Tanzania). If you are in the Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make their arrival as early as July, but they generally arrive between August and September and remain in the Mara between October and November. There are a few excellent camps in this area where you can stay to witness this natural phenomenon. Bushbuck Adventures also provides tented camps around the area of the migration routes during this migration period.

Between December and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration
back towards the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania.
The Wildebeest Migration is a dramatic story
It takes place
within Kenya and Tanzania and is the greatest
wildlife show on earth.
Between the open
plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, thousands of wildebeest and zebras
migrate to greener pastures as the seasons change and the circle of life and
death continues.
Predators, like lions follow
the Wildebeest Migration closely, waiting for an opportunity to strike weak
prey as they make their way into different territories.
We believe that going on safari to view & witness the Wildebeest migration is one of the ultimate safari experiences that Africa has to offer.
Please note this is a general description of the migration cycle. The timing of the migration is spontaneous and unpredictable.
