Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or first-time safari-goer, this is the ultimate African adventure—unforgettable, emotional, and entirely unique. Let us guide you to the perfect moment, in the perfect place, with expert planning and luxurious comfort.

Best Migration Spots

  • Ndutu & Southern Serengeti (Calving Season: Dec–March)

    The Southern Serengeti and Ndutu region are the heart of the Great Migration’s calving season. Between December and March, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth to their young on these lush, open plains. This abundance of vulnerable calves attracts predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, creating high-action game viewing opportunities. The landscape is vast, green, and breathtaking—perfect for dramatic wildlife photography and intimate safari moments.

  • Central Serengeti (Year-Round Game Viewing)

    Central Serengeti is a wildlife-rich paradise that offers exceptional safari experiences throughout the year. With its mix of open plains, river valleys, and granite kopjes, this region is teeming with resident wildlife—even when the main migration moves north or south. During the migration, it’s a vital stopover point for the herds. Luxurious camps and lodges here make it an ideal base for seeing predators, plains game, and stunning Serengeti sunsets.

  • Western Serengeti & Grumeti River (June–July)

    From May to July, the migration surges through the Western Corridor toward the Grumeti River. This area offers a more off-the-beaten-path safari experience, with fewer crowds and spectacular game viewing. One of the highlights is watching wildebeest risk their lives as they cross the crocodile-infested Grumeti River—a moment filled with tension, power, and awe. The landscape here is greener, more wooded, and dotted with hidden luxury camps.

  • Northern Serengeti & Mara River (July–October)

    The Northern Serengeti is home to one of the most iconic wildlife events on Earth—the dramatic Mara River crossings. From July to October, massive herds gather at the riverbanks, hesitating, waiting, and finally plunging into the waters below. The chaos, the crocs, the sheer numbers—this is nature in its rawest form. With fewer crowds than Kenya’s Masai Mara and exceptional luxury camps nearby, it’s the ultimate spot for witnessing the migration at its peak.
