Wildebeest Migration Safaris in Serengeti

Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safaris

The Wildebeest Migrate starts from the South of Serengeti, and moves up to Central Serengeti, later up to the North of Serengeti. The North of Serengeti is where action and activities are, including the major wildebeest crossings.

In the South, is where the wildebeest calving happens, where more than 8000 wildebeest calves are born daily, and more than 500,000 calves in between January and March of every year. It is believed since wildebeest borth starts from the South of Serengeti or the Ndutu Area, this is where the great migration starts as well.

Our Wildebeest Migration safaris covers all these areas, especially with our Calving Safaris, and the combined Masai Mara and Serengeti Safaris. With a wildebeest migration package that covers these premium parks, you are guaranteed of full safari and migration experience.

Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti is a full year, from January to January, only that they are in different locations in different seasons. They search for greener grounds and water too.

Wildebeest Migration In Masai Mara

Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safaris

When the wildebeests arrive from South Serengeti, they enter Masai Mara National Reserve to entry points known to them that have been used for ages. These include the common ones like the Sand River entry point and the lookout entry point.

The reason why wildebeests come to Masai Mara is due to the favorable temperatures the reserve offers them for mating. The wildebeest visit the reserve purposely to accomplish their biological obligation which is mating. As much as they migrate to look for water and greener grounds, the wildebeests have this very important assignment to accomplish. 

To spot the great migration in Masai Mara, we advise you to visit between July and October. This is the best time to see the wildebeest migration. During these months the weather is hot and dry, and very convenient for the wildebeests to mate.

During the wildebeest migration season, there are action-packed activities, such as big cats hunting, and easy sightings of them as well, but also witnessing the great moments of the wildebeest crossing the infested Mara River. Hundreds of them jump from high river cliffs to just cross the river, making this one of the most incredible yet phenomenon wonders of the world.

Wildebeest Migration Crossings

The Epic Wildebeest Crossings in Serengeti and Masai Mara

Wildebeest crossings in Serengeti and Masai Mara are entirely a whole episode of the great migration. The crossings happen in North Serengeti and Masai Mara. As the wildebeest move up, they have to cross the Great Mara River in Serengeti, as well as in Masai Mara. These rivers and tributaries are much infested with crocodiles that feast on them every season of the crossings.

The Wildebeest Migration Crossings happen from July to October, where they mostly dominate the northern region of Serengeti bordering Masai Mara to the south. It’s not a planned event, but luckily while on our long wildebeest migration safaris, you might be lucky not once or twice but even many times to see a crossing.

We take you to the front row of the event, where you sit in your land cruiser jeep and watch as the unimaginable event unfolds. With our combined Kenya and Tanzania Safaris, it’s easier to spot sightings both in Masai Mara and Serengeti in 10-day or 17-day Migration safaris.

What is the Best Time to Visit Tanzania and Kenya for Safaris

The best time to visit Tanzania and Kenya depends on what wildlife you’d like to spot. The country’s seasons and wildlife numbers are dictated by the rain, so you’ll have a slightly different experience depending on when you choose to visit.

The best time to visit Kenya for a safari is June-August. It’s comfortably cool, plus two million animals make the precarious Mara River crossing in June and July. Outside these months, you can track the migration elsewhere in the Serengeti.

Kenya’s ‘green season’, between November and March, is much quieter. While there’s a chance of rain showers, it’s a fantastic time for birdwatching as migratory species arrive in their thousands. You’ll also see Great Migration herds with their newly born calves.

January, February, and July to October are the best time to travel to Kenya as it is the dry season – hot and cool respectively. November, December, and April to June are the short and long rainy months respectively. However, with a diverse geography and a moderate climate, Kenya is considered a great year-round safari and beach holiday destination.
