Top 2024 Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris, Kenya & Tanzania

Explore our top great migration safari packages to make the most of your African vacations all inclusive. Natural phenomena occur all over the world, but very few can compare with the sheer size of the wildebeest migration Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem. Every year, wildebeest and other plains game embark on an epic circular journey, mapped by instinct, following Africa’s seasons in search of grazing.

The numbers alone are overwhelming: up to 2 million ungulates, mainly wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, follow the seasonal rains and their ancient instincts on a death-defying, 3 000-kilometer (1 900-mile) journey.

It isn’t a single event, as you may think, but rather a constant commute of herds. There’s no specific start and finish to the great migration Serengeti or great migration Masai Mara, but rather a clockwise grazing and reproduction route that has followed the same pattern for thousands of years.

The drama is on a truly epic scale: the migrating herds undergo all manner of challenges and hardships as they move from place to place. They’re constantly under attack from hungry predators, none more so than Africa’s big cats—lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas—and the huge crocodiles that lie in wait at various river crossing points.

The natural spectacle that occurs across Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya is certainly a lifetime experience you should embark on.

Apart from witnessing the great migration Kenya or great migration Tanzania, you can customize your safari package and combine it with other thrilling experiences in various destinations, like gorilla trekking Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or gorilla trekking Rwanda in Volcanoes National Park.

Add chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park or Nyungwe Forest or embarking on a Big Five Africa safari in Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire in Tanzania and Amboseli, Aberdare, and Nairobi National Park in Kenya, or better yet, you can visit Zanzibar for an ultimate beach escape after a remarkable great migration Africa experience.
