The Great Wildebeest Migration takes place throughout the year, but the location of the herds changes according to rainfall and grazing conditions.

April to June: The herds gradually move through the central and western parts of the Serengeti. During this period, visitors may encounter large groups of wildebeest and zebras moving across the plains.
July to October: This is generally the best period for travelers interested in the Northern Serengeti and Mara River crossings. Large herds may gather near the river before crossing, although the timing varies each year.
November to December: As the short rains begin, migrating herds gradually move south toward fresh grazing areas.
