The Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events in Africa, takes place in the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. The timing of the migration can vary slightly from year to year, as it depends on factors like rainfall and food availability. Here's a general guide to when you can see the wildebeest migration:

Maasai Mara, Kenya:

• The migration usually reaches the Maasai Mara in Kenya from July to October.
• July and August are often considered the peak months when you have the best chance to witness dramatic river crossings as the herds cross the Mara River.

Serengeti, Tanzania:

• In Tanzania's Serengeti, the wildebeest are typically present from November to July.
• From December to March, the herds are usually in the southern Serengeti, around the Ndutu area, where calving takes place.
• From June to July, they start moving northward toward the Maasai Mara.

To maximize your chances of witnessing the Great Migration, it's recommended to plan your visit to the Maasai Mara between July and October when the herds are in Kenya. However, if you want to see the wildebeest calving, consider visiting the southern Serengeti between December and March. Keep in mind that the exact timing of the migration can vary each year, so it's essential to check with local tour operators and guides for real-time updates and the most accurate information on the migration's location during your planned travel dates.
