How the Great Migration Moves throughout the year

Tap the months below to track the Great Wildebeest Migration’s usual path through the year. Rainfall influences their journey, so timings might shift a bit annually.

Calving Season | Southern Serengeti

Calving Season | Southern Serengeti

The herds are calving in the Southern parts of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Here, it’s estimated over 400,000 calves are born in just a three week period. You're allowed to off-road in this area, providing a wonderful opportunity to follow cheetah across the plains while they hunt.

BEST FOR: Calving Season; Cheetah Viewing; Lion Prides; Off-Roading Permitted

Herds Begin to Move North

Herds Begin to Move North

Following the rains, the herds splinter towards the central parts of the Serengeti. In certain areas, due to heavy rains and restricted access, a few luxury lodges will close during this time. Therefore, it’s the perfect time to view the mass herds without the crowds! Think resident lion prides and territorial leopard viewing while searching for the migration during this time.

BEST FOR: Lion Prides; Leopard Viewing; Packed Bush Lunches

Grumeti River Crossings | Western Corridor

Grumeti River Crossings | Western Corridor

Mating season is in full swing. Splinter herds begin to congregate and move into the Western Corridor. As they make their way through to the Western Corridor and Grumeti region, the herds prepare for their first challenging obstacle of their journey – crossing the Grumeti River.

BEST FOR: Grumeti River Crossings; Large Lion Prides; Fewer Crowds

Masai Mara River Crossing | Kenya

Masai Mara River Crossing | Kenya

From the Grumeti region, the herds move north into the Masai Mara, crossing the Mara River back and forth to take advantage of the abundant grass on either side. This is quite naturally peak season though, so expect a few more vehicles at the crossing points.

BEST FOR: Mara River Crossings; Nile Crocodile kills; Predator Interaction

Migration Comes Full Circle

Migration Comes Full Circle

After grazing on the lush green plains of the Masai Mara, the herds prepare to move back south through the Loliondo area towards the Ndutu plains, as the grasses will have regenerated since the herds were there a year ago.

BEST FOR: Lion Prides; Leopard Viewing: Bush Lunches

Ubuntu took all of our requests, and put together a perfect itinerary for our African Safari. Originally we planned 12 days, but they offered so many exciting options that we chose 16. Every step of the way was carefully orchestrated and managed to give my wife and I exactly what we hoped for and a lot more. If you want to go to Africa and have a smooth and awesome trip, we highly recommend Ubuntu.

We are very experienced travellers but being my first trip to Africa I wanted some professional help in planning our safari as I was concerned it could be quite complex with bush flights and transfers between lodges. Kyle, Leah and Jenna were incredible from start to finish and the whole trip ran seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble and communication whilst we were in Africa was exceptional. I would highly recommend anyone looking to travel to Africa to get in touch with Ubuntu!

My wife and I planned our honeymoon to Africa with Ubuntu. The trip was tremendous. Leah was our trip planner and she worked tirelessly to get us the trip of our dreams. During planning, we made major alterations to the trip several times in terms of dates and budget as we learned more about Africa. Leah was with us every step of the way, quickly adjusting to what she thought the ideal trip would be, and providing excellent recommendations. Without experience, booking a safari vacation can be difficult, and Ubuntu made this process fun and easy. Would absolutely recommend.

We cannot speak more highly of the experience we had with Ubuntu! They planned a spectacular honeymoon for my wife and I through South Africa and Zimbabwe, and we had the greatest time! They were responsive to our requests, thoughtful about our itinerary, and excellent at choosing the best destinations that made our trip wonderful! We worked with Leah and Jenna, specifically, and we thought they helped coordinate the best honeymoon we could have asked for!

Ubuntu Travel was a 10+ in EVERY respect from the planning stages that began months before our trip to when we returned home. Every aspect of our adventure exceeded all expectations. From More Quarters boutique hotel in Cape Town through all three game camps we saw incredible wildlife and met amazing people - other guests, tour guides, rangers, trackers, waiters, butlers, and every & Beyond representative. Ubuntu is a personalized full-service operation led by gifted and deeply committed husband and wife, Kyle and Leah Green, and a team of experts all of whom are “family”who will create a trip of a lifetime. Give yourself a gift by reaching out to Ubuntu and meeting with Kyle and Leah. It will be the best travel decision you ever make. Laird & Maggie Hayes, Newport Beach CA

Ubuntu planned an incredible honeymoon for my husband and I in South Africa and Mozambique. They handled every single detail and made our trip so incredibly easy. All logistics were completely handled and we were able to relax and enjoy. The accommodations they arranged were all amazing. They were also very communicative via WhatsApp while on the trip to answer any questions. Would recommend to anyone looking to plan an African trip!

The Ubuntu team made our safari + beach honeymoon extra special. They were a pleasure to work with and my wife and I found their knowledge of Tanzania and Kenya to be helpful in the planning process. Rather than steering us to stay at certain lodges or take part in certain excursions, Leah, Kyle, and Jenna took a collaborative approach to come up with a trip that best aligned with our interests. We had a lot of questions and found that their responsiveness over email and text made it an easy decision to want to work with them. Furthermore, we typically like to plan trips on our own so working with a company that was as organized as us allowed us to feel at ease. We also appreciated the pre-honeymoon luggage and hats that they sent us. Highly recommend Ubuntu for your next trip to Africa. Thanks for all you did to make it so memorable!

The Ubuntu team is a world-class organization to work with. They planned the perfect trip for us. They were never pushy, and you always felt as though they had your best interests at heart when crafting the perfect trip. We definitely plan to work with them again in the future for our next safari!
