Witness the Wonder: The Great Migration in East Africa Is Approaching

Experience the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle with Explorest Travel

Every year, nature puts on its most awe-inspiring show—and it’s almost time.
 

The Great Migration is fast approaching, and with it comes an unmatched opportunity to witness one of Earth’s last truly wild phenomena. As millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the vast plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti into Kenya’s Masai Mara, you’ll be front and center with Explorest Travel’s expertly curated safari experiences.


What Is the Great Migration?

The Great Migration is a continuous, circular journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebras, and gazelles as they search for greener pastures. This epic trek spans thousands of kilometers between Tanzania and Kenya and includes thrilling river crossings, predator-prey drama, and moments of pure wilderness magic.


When and Where to Go

  • June to July: The herds gather in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, preparing for their dramatic crossing of the Grumeti River.
  • July to September: The most iconic stage—Mara River crossings—as herds surge into Kenya’s Masai Mara.
  • October onward: The animals begin their return southward to Tanzania.

Explorest Travel offers flexible itineraries tailored to put you at the heart of the action, whether in Serengeti National Park, Masai Mara, or both.
