Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in a circular journey in search of fresh grazing and water.
Migration Highlights by Season
January – March: Calving season (Southern Serengeti)
April – May: Long rains, dramatic green landscapes
June – July: Migration moves north
July – October: Iconic river crossings (Northern Serengeti)
