Every year, the Serengeti's short November rains signal the beginning of one of the world's most amazing wildlife spectacles. Several million hooves kick up the dust as they move through the Serengeti plains in a search for green pastures.

Some two million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle travelling a year-long route in a snorting, dust-raising column that can stretch for 40km - it's the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration, one of Nature's greatest shows.
You need to time your visit well as the herds move to the rhythms of the seasons: read all about it in our Important Migration Months feature.
It's not just tourists who follow the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration closely: the predators move in as need drives the game into dense concentrations. With the addition of lion, leopard and crocodile, the journey is punctuated with drama.
The circular rhythm of nature plays out in one of her most magnificent arenas as thousands of animals live and die to the breath of the Serengeti seasons.
There is a small amount of permanent water in the Serengeti, and the migration is closely tied to rainfall patterns. As a result, the migration follows a relatively predictable cycle, but the exact timing does vary from year to year.
Read our area guide to see what happens where and when.
