Witness the Great Migration in Tanzania’s Serengeti with Grayton Expeditions
The Serengeti’s Greatest Story
Imagine standing on an open plain in northern Tanzania. The horizon is endless. The ground trembles as hooves pound the earth. Dust rises, wildebeest surge forward, and predators circle in silence. This is the Great Migration. It is one of the most powerful natural events on earth, and the Serengeti is where it happens.
The Great Migration is not just about watching animals move. It is about witnessing life, survival, and raw energy play out on a scale few people see. At Grayton Expeditions, we guide you into the heart of it with care, knowledge, and respect for the land.
What Is the Great Migration?...
The Great Migration is the seasonal movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebra, and gazelle across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. They move in search of grass and water. Along the way, predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles follow.
The cycle continues all year. It is not one single event. It is a constant movement shaped by rain, grass, and instinct. Each part of the migration has its own story, and each season offers something different.
The timing matters if you want to see specific events.
December to March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti. Thousands of young are born, and predators hunt in open plains.
April to May: Herds move north as the rains end. The plains are green, and the Serengeti is quieter with fewer visitors.
June to July: The herds reach the western corridor. This is when the first river crossings begin.
August to October: The famous Mara River crossings. Wildebeest face crocodiles and strong currents. It is the most dramatic stage of the migration.
November: The herds return south as rains fall again.
Each season offers a different perspective. With our guides, you choose the timing that fits what you want to see.
Why the Serengeti Is Different
The Serengeti is vast. It covers nearly 15,000 square kilometres. Open grasslands, river valleys, and acacia woodlands create space for animals to move freely. You can watch wildlife without crowds pressing in.
This is also a place of history. People have lived alongside wildlife here for centuries. The land is protected, and conservation is part of daily life. At Grayton Expeditions, we work closely with local communities and conservation partners. Your visit supports both wildlife and people.
When you travel with us, you are not part of a rushed tour. You get a personalised safari designed around your interests.
Expert guides:.. Our guides know the Serengeti in detail. They track wildlife with skill and explain animal behaviour in clear ways.
Safety and trust: Your comfort and security are priorities at every step.
Sustainable travel: We plan carefully to reduce the impact on the environment. Your safari supports conservation directly.
Tailored experiences: You choose how to travel. It can be private game drives, walking safaris, or nights in mobile camps following the herds.
We give you the space to feel the migration without rush.
Where You Stay
Accommodation in the Serengeti ranges from classic tented camps to comfortable lodges. Many of our camps move with the migration, placing you close to the action.
These camps are simple but comfortable. They give you quiet evenings under the stars and mornings with coffee as the plains wake around you. You stay close to nature while still being safe and cared for.
The Serengeti and the Great Migration are more than a safari highlight. They remind us of connection, survival, and the balance of life. Seeing it changes how you feel about nature. It stays with you long after you leave.
At Grayton Expeditions, we guide with love for these places. We know the weight of responsibility that comes with showing them to you. Every safari we plan is built with respect—for you, for the animals, and for the people who call this land home.
