Serengeti Great Migration Guide

The migration is a continuous, circular movement driven by rain and grazing. Patterns are broadly predictable, but timing changes each year.

Typical pattern

• December–March: southern Serengeti and Ndutu, calving around February
• April–May: moving through the central and western Serengeti
• June–July: western corridor and Grumeti River
• July–October: northern Serengeti and Mara River
• November: moving south again

River crossings cannot be guaranteed and depend on the animals themselves.
