North Migration Safari in Serengeti
The North Migration Safari in Serengeti refers to the annual movement of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores in search of greener pastures from the southern Serengeti to the northern Serengeti plains in Tanzania. This natural spectacle is considered one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth, attracting tourists and wildlife enthusiasts from around the world.
During this migration, the herds cross rivers, face predators, and cover vast distances, creating a breathtaking display of nature’s raw beauty and survival instincts. The journey is fraught with dangers, including crocodile-infested rivers, predators like lions and cheetahs, and exhaustion from the long trek. The migration typically occurs between June and August when the herds move northwards towards the Mara River.
The Mara River crossing is one of the most iconic events during the North Migration Safari. Here, thousands of animals gather on the riverbanks, hesitating before plunging into the treacherous waters filled with crocodiles waiting to ambush them. The sight of hundreds of wildebeests and zebras swimming across the river while predators lurk nearby is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for visitors.
Best Time to Witness the North Migration Safari
The best time to witness the North Migration Safari in Serengeti is generally between June and August when the herds are crossing the Mara River. However, it’s essential to note that wildlife movements can be unpredictable, so it’s advisable to consult with local guides or tour operators for real-time updates on the animals’ locations.
