Safari summary
The Great Migration in Serengeti National Park
The Great Migration in Serengeti National Park is one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth. It involves the movement of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores across the vast plains of the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania and Kenya. This migration is driven by the search for greener pastures and water sources, following a circular route that covers approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) each year.
Duration of the Migration
The migration in Serengeti National Park typically lasts throughout the year, as the herds move in a continuous cycle in search of food and water. However, there are specific times during the year when certain phases of the migration are more prominent and can be witnessed more easily.
4-Day Serengeti Migration Experience
A 4-day Serengeti migration experience offers visitors a glimpse into this incredible natural phenomenon. During this period, visitors have the opportunity to witness large herds of wildebeest and zebras crossing rivers, grazing on the plains, and being pursued by predators such as lions and crocodiles. The experience allows for game drives to observe the wildlife up close, as well as guided walks and cultural interactions with local communities.
Best Time to Witness the Migration
The best time to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti National Park during a 4-day experience can vary depending on the specific location within the park and the movements of the herds. Generally, the months of January to March are ideal for witnessing the calving season in the southern Serengeti plains, while June to August is prime time for river crossings in the northern Serengeti.
