Great migration safaris

The migration follows a predictable route governed by rainfall that brings the greenest grazing; that said, their exact location will vary with the vagaries of the season.

The Great Migration is a year-round event, but the herds spend most of it in the Serengeti in Tanzania, crossing into Kenya’s Masai Mara between July and October. This is the period for the fabled river crossings, when the herds explode back and forth over the Mara River and the migration is at its most dramatically spectacular.

Over the last twenty years the safari industry has developed to give visitors the best possible chance of viewing this unique spectacle.

Whilst the exact location of the herds can never be guaranteed, many luxury safari operators have created mobile camps that change location throughout the year based on the annual patterns.

Many of our favourite partners operate such camps across the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

No half measures allowed.

Over the last twenty years, we have lived and worked in the luxury African tourism sector developing partnerships across the continent.

We know what makes a memorable family experience, and as parents, we understand what’s important to you.
