January – March
Calving season on the southern Serengeti plains around Ndutu — huge herds and intense predator action.
Month by month
Where The Migration Is, When
Wildlife movement follows rainfall, so timings shift year to year. We plan around the most likely pattern for your dates.
April – May
Long rains and the start of the move north-west. Quieter parks and green-season value.
June
Herds concentrate in the western corridor, with Grumeti River crossings beginning.
July – August
Peak crossing season on the Mara River between the northern Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
September – October
Herds spread across the Maasai Mara and northern Serengeti — excellent game viewing.
November – December
Short rains draw the herds back south towards the calving grounds.
