The Great Migration takes place every year in the Serengeti Mara ecosystem. A fascinating spectacle of nature can be observed in Serengeti and Kenyan Masai Mara. Always following the rain following survival strategy: the 1.5 million wild animals that migrate in the dry season from the Serengeti to the north, rich in water Masai Mara to graze and give birth. Around 1.2 million blue wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 400,000 gazelles, topis, and eland antelope migrate in huge flocks and cover about 3,000 kilometers annually.
Serengeti National Park is 335 kilometers from Arusha and is easily accessible by car.
While the weather usually dictates the best time for wildlife viewing, those who travel specifically to Tanzania to see the Great Migration must follow a different set of rules. Since the Serengeti does not have a large number of permanent water sources, the Great Migration in search of grass and water follows the rain. As the rains move south – between October and January – the hike will initially be above the western Loliondo and Lobo Hills area (October), then halfway down the eastern corridor, in the Nyabogati and Ngare Nanyuki river basins ( November and December) before arriving at the southeast in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (January and February), where she spends the short dry season.
From here it moves gradually west and – between April and June – north, following the long rains, along Grumeti (June / July) and along the Mara River (July / August), before crossing the border with Kenya.
