Wildlife
The Great Migration
Vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle travel across the Serengeti in one of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles.
Resident wildlife makes this a rewarding destination year-round, while the migration moves with rainfall and fresh grazing. Careful planning helps you find quieter corners and remarkable encounters.
Follow the rhythm of the herds
The southern plains are known for the calving season early in the year. As grazing changes, herds move through western and northern regions before returning south. Routes and river crossings vary each year; wildlife always sets the pace.
