Explore the Great Migration with Mobila Safaris!
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on Earth, and experiencing it with Mobila Safaris is truly a bucket-list adventure. This incredible annual journey involves over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles moving in a continuous cycle across the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems, driven by their search for fresh grazing and water.
Understanding the Great Migration with Mobila Safaris:
The migration is a year-round phenomenon, not a single event. Its exact timing and location depend on the unpredictable rainfall patterns.
Mobila Safaris specializes in tracking these movements to ensure you are in the best possible position to witness this natural wonder.
Key Phases and Where Mobila Safaris Takes You:
Calving Season (Late December - March): Southern Serengeti & Ndutu Plains
This is a truly special time! The herds congregate on the nutrient-rich short-grass plains of the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu Conservation Area.
What you'll see: Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a few weeks (especially late January to February), often with thousands born in a single day. This attracts a huge concentration of predators – lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas – leading to incredible predator-prey interactions. It's a raw, dramatic, and incredibly moving display of the circle of life.
Mobila's approach: We'll position you in comfortable tented camps in the Ndutu area, allowing for early morning game drives directly into the heart of the calving action.
Western Corridor & Grumeti River Crossings (May - Early July): Western Serengeti
After the calving season, the herds begin their long trek north and west, forming massive columns. They face their first major obstacle: the crocodile-infested Grumeti River.
What you'll see: Dramatic river crossings as wildebeest plunge into the water, evading resident crocodiles. The sheer scale of the herds moving across the landscape is breathtaking. This is also the rutting season, with males clashing for dominance.
Mobila's approach: Our itineraries during this time focus on the Western Serengeti, positioning you near potential crossing points on the Grumeti.
Northern Serengeti & Mara River Crossings (Late July - October): Northern Serengeti
This is often considered the most iconic phase. The herds continue their journey north, encountering the ultimate challenge: the Mara River.
What you'll see: The world-famous Mara River crossings. Thousands of wildebeest and zebra launch themselves into the perilous waters, battling strong currents and the jaws of massive Nile crocodiles. It's an intense, dramatic, and unforgettable spectacle.
Mobila's approach: Our safaris will take you to the Northern Serengeti, staying in camps strategically located to access the various crossing points along the Mara River. While crossings are never guaranteed, our guides know the best spots to wait and observe.
Southern Journey (November - Early December): Central & Southern Serengeti
With the onset of the short rains, the herds begin their journey back south, drawn by the rejuvenated grasses of the southern plains.
What you'll see: Scattered herds moving across the vast central and eastern plains of the Serengeti, often less concentrated but still impressive. This is a quieter time, offering a more exclusive safari experience.
Mobila's approach: We'll guide you through the central and southern regions, appreciating the lush landscapes and general game viewing as the cycle prepares to begin anew.
