The Great Migration is a unique spectacle where almost 2 million wildebeest, 800,000 zebra and gazelle form a super herd and travel in a clockwise route from Kenya's Maasai Mara through to Tanzania's Serengeti in search of grazing and water. Between August and October, it's even possible to experience the Great Migration by a hot air balloon flight. Get in touch with our Travel Experts to find out more.
When is The Great Migration?
Following a year-round, circular path, the migration is an endlessly active phenomenon that cannot be predicted with complete certainty. As the animals move in constant search of food and water, the timing of their journey is entirely dependent on ever-changing weather patterns, such as rainfall, and other environmental factors. Check out our blog "When to witness the wildebeest migration" for more information.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. All transfers were on time and drivers were very friendly, completely stress-free. The staff we encountered were all very friendly and professional. Even with a small miscommunication at GOLD it was swiftly resolved.
Our trip was magical! Truly a once in a lifetime experience… that we are ready to do all over again! We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Kitty at Mahlatini and our experience at 3 Elewana properties.
