Great Wildebeest Migration Map
The largest and longest overland migration on earth, the Great Wildebeest Migration is a year-round trek taking two million wildebeest and countless zebras and antelope from the southern Serengeti to the Maasai Mara and back.
Opportunities abound throughout the year to follow the herd as it seeks fresh grazing. January and February are usually ideal times to see newborn calves, as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest mothers give birth during this season. Select a month to forecast the wildebeests’ route, then contact us to schedule your Great Wildebeest Migration safari.
