Great Migration Safari
Two million animals, one ancient circuit, year-round.
About this style
Two million animals, one ancient circuit, year-round.
The Great Migration is not a single event but a year-round circuit across the Serengeti and into the Maasai Mara. We position you exactly where the herds are each month - from the February calving on the southern plains, to the dramatic Mara and Grumeti river crossings between June and October.
Highlights
- Front-row camps that move with the herds each season
- Mara River crossings (Jun–Oct) and calving (Jan–Mar)
- Hot-air balloon flights over wildebeest columns
- Predator action - lion, cheetah, crocodile - at its peak
Best for
- First-timers who want THE iconic safari moment
- Photographers chasing river crossings and calving drama
- Travellers planning around a specific migration phase
What makes it different
- We book mobile camps that follow the herds, not fixed lodges far from the action.
- Our planners track movements weekly and adjust your route close to departure.
- Multiple river-crossing days built in - not a one-shot, fingers-crossed visit.
