The Misconception of the Great Migration
When most people think of the “Great Migration”, they think of the iconic wildebeest river crossings that take place in the Masai Mara and Serengeti over peak safari season from June to October.
The Great Migration is actually a year-long cyclical event, whereby wildebeest and other plains game follow the rains from the east of the Serengeti down through the northwest of Ngorongoro Conservation Area, back up through the central and west of the Serengeti, all the way up north to the Masai Mara, and then back down again through the centre and east of Serengeti.
