WHERE IS BEST TO SEE THE GREAT MIGRATION - TANZANIA OR KENYA?

Both Destinations Are Phenomenal And Offer Year Round Game Viewing
When It Comes To The Great Migration, Travelers Should Know The Practical Advantages Of Each Country.



The wildebeest migration is a movement of animals that spans across both Tanzania and Kenya in an annual cycle. A commonly asked question is "which is the best location to see the African Great Wildebeest Migration -Tanzania or Kenya?"

Both destinations are phenomenal and offer year round game viewing. When it comes to the Great Migration, travelers should know the practical advantages of each country.


LOCATION / COUNTRY : TANZANIA

Tanzania has the lion's share of the action, with approximately 75% of the annual wildebeest migration period spent in Tanzania. An exclusive highlight of the Tanzania migration safari is the calving season which occurs in February on the Serengeti Southern Plains. Another unforgettable spectacle is the tens of thousands crossing the Grumeti River between June and July.

The other major highlight is the crossing of the Mara River. The Mara River is the natural border between Kenya and Tanzania separating the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti on either side of it, The Maasai Mara can be chaotically busy, while the northern sections of the Serengeti have far fewer visitors and more exclusive sightings. 


LOCATION / COUNTRY : KENYA

From September to November, the herds are most likely to be on the Kenyan side of the Mara River. If you are travelling at this time, the Maasai Mara provides a number of cheaper safari options, compared to the more expensive camps and lodges located in the northern section of the Serengeti. 

Tanzania and Kenya are both phenomenal Africa safari destinations; especially during the Great Migration. We recommend combining the two destinations -the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara - and getting the absolute most out of your Great Migration safari!

Hello adventurers, I'm Baraka, the founder and trip planner at Bantu Pori Journeys. Today, I want to share with you why the Mara River crossing during the Great Wildebeest Migration is an absolute must-see event, especially between July and October. Here’s an account from our expert safari guides, Danny and Hussein, based on our experiences from last year. The Thrill of the Mara River Crossing From Danny: "Last year, our guests experienced the Mara River crossing firsthand, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine standing on the riverbanks, the air filled with anticipation, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather on the opposite side, ready to make their daring plunge. The crossing is a dramatic and chaotic scene, with animals braving strong currents and lurking predators. The sheer determination of these creatures, driven by the instinct to survive, is awe-inspiring." Why July to October? From Hussein: "D...
