The Great Migration is one of the most awe-inspiring natural events on the planet. Every year, over a million wildebeests, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, embark on a perilous journey through Tanzania’s Serengeti in search of fresh grazing lands. In this blog, we’ll explore the fascinating phenomenon of the Great Migration and how you can witness this breathtaking event on your Tanzanian safari.
The Great Migration is a continuous, circular movement of wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores between Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The animals travel in a clockwise direction, covering over 1,800 miles annually, driven by the seasonal rains that dictate the availability of fresh grass.
The timing of the migration varies depending on the season:
Witnessing the Great Migration is a bucket-list experience for many travelers. The best way to see the migration is by joining a safari that’s timed to the movement of the herds. Whether you’re hoping to see the river crossings or the calving season, there are specific locations within the Serengeti that offer prime viewing opportunities. Hot air balloon safaris are also a fantastic way to get a bird’s-eye view of the migration.
