The Great Wildebeest migration is a well-documented spectacle that you have probably heard from one source or another, but it is difficult to comprehend just how breath-taking this display is without witnessing it first-hand. Simply put, the Wildebeest migration is one of the most stunning events that you could ever wish to see.
Million of Wildebeests, Zebras, antelopes, and other migratory wildlife species, migrate every year from South of Serengeti to North Serengeti and finally to Masai Mara Kenya. On top of this, it’s not just wildebeest that you will be watching, expect to see all the diverse wildlife that Africa has to offer whilst embarking on your Wildebeest Migration safari with Cheetah Safaris. Thousands of wildebeests and Zebras are killed every year while crossing the major infested Mara rivers.
Before the wildebeest migrate, they have to stay in Ndutu Conservation Area for 3 months as they give birth to almost 8000 calves a day. The wildebeest calving season happens between January and March, but most births are experienced in March.

Wildebeests and other migratory wildlife like zebras, follow rain patterns, and where the grass is green. Due to their biological culture such as mating, calving (giving birth), they have to migrate across the plains in order to meet these demands.

Where’s the best place to see the wildebeest migration? Kenya or Tanzania?
Kenya and Tanzania share the same ecosystem between the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. They are all spectacular to visit for the Wildebeest Migration. Tanzania is considered more favorable due to its length of 8 months in hosting them, as well as with an exclusive event of the calving season that happens from Jan to March every year.
- Each destination is good at completely different times of the year. The migration is usually active in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park for 8 months. It’s most active in Kenya’s Masai Mara for 4 months during July, August, September, October.
- If you’re planning a migration safari then decide on either Kenya or Tanzania. Don’t think of combining or switching at the last moment on the cheap. Logistically it’s best to handle the Serengeti from Arusha and the Mara from Nairobi. This will help with decisions on beach breaks on the Kenyan coast or Zanzibar. Or other safaris into southern Tanzania or elsewhere in Kenya.
