The Great Migration in Tanzania's Serengeti showcases nature's most spectacular wildlife phenomenon as over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles follow ancient migration patterns in search of fresh grazing. Timing your visit right allows you to witness dramatic river crossings where crocodiles wait in the churning waters, while the surrounding plains teem with predators and scavengers in an epic display of survival and natural selection.

โOut of five nights on safari, we saw 3 or 4 river crossings including one major crossing with thousands of wildebeest making their way across the river. We experienced rains in the evenings which ended up playing to our advantage. The wildebeest generally follow the rains (rain = food) so a bit of a sprinkle in our case made for great game viewing. And yes, be prepared to see the crocs in action as well during the crossings!โ
โWe pulled into the camp during September, one of the months famous for the Great Migration, when wildebeest move in droves, crossing the river in search of greener pastures. [...] For us, that meant a camp just 600 meters from the Mara River, where we could quite literally hear the crossings when they began, wildebeest stampeding less than a kilometer away.โ
