Best Time for the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Camping Safari
The Great Wildebeest Migration is a year-round movement through the Serengeti ecosystem and Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The best travel dates depend on which part of the migration you want to experience.
- January–March: The southern Serengeti and Ndutu region are often associated with the calving season, when many wildebeest calves are born.
- April–June: Herds generally move through the central and western Serengeti, although rainfall can influence their movements.
- July–October: The northern Serengeti is an important area for travelers hoping to see dramatic Mara River crossings.
- November–December: Herds often move back toward the eastern and southern plains as seasonal rains influence grazing.
These are general seasonal patterns, not guaranteed schedules. River crossings are unpredictable, and the exact location of the herds can change. World Blossom Safaris will help plan your itinerary around your travel dates and the most suitable migration area.
