Planning Your Trip to Witness Africa’s Great Migration

Rapid Summary

• Africa’s Great Migration is a major wildlife event where over one million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate across tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s maasai Mara. These animals follow rains in search of fresh grazing pastures.
• This annual cycle includes dramatic Mara River crossings where predators like crocodiles and lions prey on migrating herds.Conservation concerns accompany the increasing tourist interest in the spectacle.
• The migration begins in Southern Serengeti (January-February), peaks around July-August during river crossings into Kenya, and returns south by October as grasses wither in the Maasai Mara.
• Responsible tourism emphasizes sustainable lodging options such as boutique lodges or camps supporting conservation efforts and local communities.
• Planning for peak season safaris (June to October) requires advance arrangements due to high demand for accommodations and riverbank access competition among vehicles.
• Travellers are encouraged to adopt sustainable practices, including walking safaris, hot-air balloon rides, minimizing vehicle activities near wildlife sightings/rivers, longer stays at single camps to reduce ecological impact.
