A simple guide to choosing the right season for a Great Migration safari in Tanzania.
The Great Migration changes location throughout the year, which means timing matters when planning a safari around the herds.
For river crossings, many travellers focus on the northern Serengeti from July to October. For calving season, the southern plains are strongest from January to March.
A good itinerary should follow the expected movement of the herds while leaving enough time for unpredictable wildlife behavior.
The first crossing I ever saw, the herd hesitated for nearly an hour. Then a single wildebeest leapt, and the whole riverbank moved at once. You feel it before you see it, the ground, the dust, the noise. No photograph I’ve taken has ever come close.
