Peak Migration Viewing in Tanzania is one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on earth. Between June and August, massive herds of wildebeest and zebras move north through Serengeti National Park, creating unforgettable safari moments.

The highlight of this season is the legendary river crossings at the Mara and Grumeti Rivers. Thousands of wildebeest gather at the riverbanks before plunging into crocodile-filled waters in a breathtaking display of instinct and survival.

What makes Peak Migration Viewing special:

  • Thousands of wildebeest crossing at once

  • Intense predator action from crocodiles and lions

  • Dramatic photography opportunities

  • High wildlife concentration in northern Serengeti

The northern Serengeti region near the Mara River offers front-row seats to this natural phenomenon. Game drives during this time are filled with anticipation, as crossings can happen suddenly and create heart-pounding safari experiences.

Unlike calving season in the southern plains, Peak Migration Viewing focuses on movement, tension, and survival as herds navigate dangerous river passages.

 

For travelers seeking action-packed safaris and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife scenes, this is considered one of the best times to visit Tanzania.
