The Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is a breathtaking natural spectacle that every wildlife enthusiast should witness at least once in their lifetime. This annual event sees over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate across the plains of the Serengeti in search of greener pastures, making it one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife experiences in the world.
But when is the optimal time to witness this incredible migration? The answer is not as straightforward as you might think. The timing of the migration is largely dependent on the rains, which can vary from year to year. However, there are general patterns that can help you plan your safari to maximize your chances of seeing this awe-inspiring event.
Typically, the best time to witness the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is during the dry season, which runs from late June to October. During this time, the wildebeest gather in the northern Serengeti and cross the Mara River into the Masai Mara in Kenya, creating a dramatic spectacle as they navigate crocodile-infested waters. This is often considered the peak of the migration and is a sight that will stay with you forever.
If you want to witness the calving season, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth to their young in the southern Serengeti, then the best time to visit is between January and March. This is a particularly vulnerable time for the wildebeest, as predators are on the prowl for easy prey, making for some truly heart-stopping moments.
