8 Days Wildebeest Tanzania Migration Safari
Explore Tours
Overview
The wildebeest migration begins its river crossings in July, moving north through the Lobo and Wagakuria areas on its way to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. By September, the herds are spread across the northern Serengeti and the Masai Mara, with some large groups remaining in the area. Weather changes may bring the herds back from the Mara. In October, the migration heads south, returning to the central Serengeti via the Lobo area.
