Serengeti migration, explained
Where the herds move and when to follow.
The short version
Millions of wildebeest follow the rain across the Serengeti and into the Maasai Mara. The exact timing changes each year.
Where to stay
Central Serengeti is reliable for big cats. The northern Serengeti is best for river crossings from July to October.
Plan around movement
Choose a mobile camp or a guide who tracks the herds, not a fixed itinerary that ignores the season.
