The Great Migration is not a single event. It is a year-round, 1,200-kilometre circuit across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem — driven by rain patterns and the search for fresh grazing. Two million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle, move in a pattern that has barely changed in two million years.
The dramatic moments — river crossings where crocodiles wait and thousands of animals crowd the banks before plunging in — are among the most intense wildlife experiences imaginable. Being present when it happens requires both seasonal knowledge and real-time flexibility.
Bobby Safaris monitors migration movements daily. We position our guests where the herds are, not where a fixed itinerary says they should be.
The starting point for a private 10-night journey timed to the river crossings is from $18,500 per person, based on double occupancy. Every journey is individually quoted around your dates and camps — see our transparent pricing for what is included.
