From August the wildebeest herds begin moving faster in search of water and greener grass, making their way across the Grumeti and Mara River. August – September is when the herds cross from Serengeti to Masai Mara and October is a good time to see the wildebeest herds move back into the Serengeti and warm weather can be expected. Don’t miss out on this wildlife spectacle and catch The Great Migration in motion with this tour!
