Why the Serengeti Migration is Different from the Masai Mara?


The Great Migration in the Serengeti is one of the most breathtaking natural events on Earth, with over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the vast plains. While the Masai Mara hosts part of the migration for a few months, the Serengeti offers a longer and more expansive experience across different regions, with:

✅ More Space & Fewer Crowds – The Serengeti is nearly 10 times larger than the Masai Mara (14,750 sq km vs. 1,510 sq km), meaning you can witness the migration in remote areas without large tourist crowds.
✅ Dramatic River Crossings – The famous Mara River Crossing (July–October) in Northern Serengeti is one of the most intense wildlife spectacles as thousands of animals attempt to cross crocodile-infested waters.
✅ Predator Action – The migration attracts lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and crocodiles as they take advantage of the endless food supply.
✅ Diverse Landscapes – From endless golden savannahs to wooded kopjes and riverine areas, the Serengeti offers breathtaking backdrops for game drives.
