Great Migration in Tanzania:2025/2025 Ultimate Planning Guide and Key Considerations

Every year on the plains of East Africa โ€“ from Tanzaniaโ€™s Serengeti to Kenyaโ€™s Masai Mara โ€“ driven by a primal instinct, millions of blue wildebeest embark on a circular migration.ย  As the rains fall, they leave in their wake a flush of nutritious grass essential to both their survival and that of hundreds of thousands of zebra and various antelope species.

These species in turn are the prey on which a multitude of predators and scavengers depend โ€“ lions, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, and wild dogs.ย  Collectively these species form the cast of what has been dubbed โ€œThe Greatest Show on Earthโ€.

As this, one of the largest mammal migrations on the planet unfolds, it sustains a vast ecosystem, with every life and death contributing to its functioning.

The spectacle is so impressive that it attracts hundreds of thousands of nature lovers from across the globe.ย  In this guide, we provide the essential information you will need to secure your front-row seats and make the most of what is sure to be the experience of a lifetime.

Best Time to Witness the Migrationย 

While the migration occurs throughout the year, the activity has peaks and lulls.ย  Key highlights include the calving season from January to March; when millions of near-simultaneous births create moments of tenderness and predatory behavior.ย  Most popular are the legendary river crossings, when the great herd must brave swift currents, massive crocodiles and other waiting predators to get to the vital grasslands.ย  These occur at the Mara River from late July until early September and from late October to mid-November.
