December–March
Southern Serengeti and Ndutu
Calving season, open grasslands and exceptional predator activity. Best for guests who enjoy wide landscapes and long, patient game drives.
Private Great Migration safaris
Follow the Great Migration with the right place, at the right time.
The migration moves. A good Serengeti journey responds to that reality—choosing the area, number of nights and camp position around your travel window, rather than promising a fixed wildlife moment.
A living safari story
There is more than one way to experience the herds.
The Great Migration is not one event in one place. It is a year-round movement through the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem, shaped by rainfall, grazing and the season.
We begin with your dates, then explain the best areas for those dates and build a private safari with enough time to make the wildlife viewing feel rewarding—not rushed.
Where to be, when
Four migration seasons. Four very different Serengeti experiences.
April–May
Central and western movement
The herds begin to push north. Green-season drama, quieter camps in some areas and a route shaped carefully around conditions.
June–October
Northern Serengeti
Dry-season wildlife, Mara River country and the possibility of crossings. River crossings are never guaranteed, but the area delivers much more than one moment.
November
Returning to the short-grass plains
The herds begin their southern journey again. A flexible route can follow the movement while retaining strong resident wildlife viewing.
Migration and places to stay
The wildlife moments and camp settings that shape the journey.
One Great Migration story, thoughtfully matched: unhurried time with the herds and stays that put you in the right part of the Serengeti.

We plan for the migration, but never reduce your safari to one crossing.
A Great Migration safari should still be excellent if the herds pause, spread out or move ahead of expectations. That is why we build around resident wildlife, varied habitats, good guiding and camps that make sense for your whole route.
