Wildebeest migration herd, Serengeti — Yera Journeys

20+ YEARS ON THE GROUND · FULLY TAILOR-MADE · NO SUB-AGENTS — EVER

Serengeti Isn't One Place. It's Five.

Every month, the migration moves. Every region tells a different story. We know exactly where to put you — and when.

THE PROBLEM

Most Operators Sell "The Migration" as One Trip.

Most operators send every client to the same camp, the same month, the same route — and call it "the migration."

THE REALITY

But the Serengeti migration isn't a single event. It's a year-round movement across five distinct regions — calving in the south, river crossings in the north, big cats in the center, year-round. Book the wrong month or the wrong region, and you'll spend your safari chasing a migration that already moved on.

THE YERA APPROACH

We track the herds season by season and place you exactly where the action is — not where it's convenient for us.

THE YEAR-ROUND MIGRATION GUIDE

Five Regions. Five Different Stories.

Southern Serengeti, Serengeti

CALVING SEASON · DECEMBER – MARCH

Southern Serengeti

Calving season. Half a million wildebeest calves born within weeks, drawing the highest concentration of predators anywhere in Africa.

Western Corridor, Serengeti

RIVER CROSSINGS BEGIN · APRIL – JUNE

Western Corridor

The Grumeti River crossings. Fewer crowds, dramatic terrain, and the first real river crossings of the migration cycle.

Central Serengeti (Seronera), Serengeti

BIG CATS · YEAR-ROUND

Central Serengeti (Seronera)

The migration may move on, but the big cats never leave. Serengeti's highest lion and leopard density, any month you travel.

Northern Serengeti (Mara), Serengeti

MARA RIVER CROSSINGS · JULY – OCTOBER

Northern Serengeti (Mara)

The Mara River crossings — the migration's most dramatic chapter. Crocodiles, chaos, and the scene every safari photo dreams of.

Eastern Serengeti (Ndutu), Serengeti

NEWBORN CALVES · JANUARY – MARCH

Eastern Serengeti (Ndutu)

An extension of the calving grounds. Wide open plains, newborn calves, and predator action at its rawest.

ACCOMMODATION & ACCESS

Three Tiers. Every One Positioned With the Herds.

Signature

Kogatende River Camp (placeholder)

Premium camps positioned closer to the action, moved seasonally with the herds. Fly-in via light aircraft from Arusha, landing at Seronera or Kogatende — less transfer time, more time in camp.

Bespoke

Private camps and exclusive-use concessions, fully repositioned around your travel dates and the migration's exact location. Fly-in with flexible routing, private airstrips where available.
