Wildebeest Migration Safari Tanzania

The great Serengeti wildebeest migration safari Tanzania is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti’s wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebras and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala. These move in an annual pattern that is predictable. They migrate throughout the year, constantly seeking fresh grazing and, it’s now thought, better-quality water. The precise timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year; here we explain how the broad pattern works.

You’ll need to plan your visit carefully: the wildebeest migration is a fluid, dynamic affair taking place between two countries—Tanzania and Kenya—and subject to the timing of that year’s rains. It’s also an event of different experiences: depending on where you are and at what time, you may see the wildebeest herds giving birth and courting, moving in great dusty columns, or funnelling across muddy rivers.
