Wildebeest herds moving across the Serengeti during the Great Migration

EXTEND YOUR TANZANIA HOLIDAY

Experience the Great Migration in 2027

Beyond the excitement of AFCON, visitors can extend their stay with a wildlife safari in Serengeti National Park to discover one of the world's most remarkable natural wildlife events: the Great Migration. This extraordinary movement involves large herds of wildebeest and zebras travelling across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water.

The migration is not a single event that takes place in one location. The herds move through different parts of the ecosystem throughout the year, influenced by rainfall, grass availability and seasonal conditions. Depending on your travel dates, you may explore the southern Serengeti and Ndutu, the central Serengeti, the western corridor or the northern Serengeti.

Each region offers a different safari atmosphere. The southern plains are associated with the calving season, while other areas can offer opportunities to observe migrating herds, resident wildlife and the diverse landscapes of the Serengeti. Wildlife sightings and the exact location of the herds naturally vary with the season.

A Great Migration safari can be a memorable addition to your 2027 football trip, especially if you have extra days available to explore Tanzania. Your safari itinerary can be planned around your travel dates, interests and the seasonal movement of wildlife.
