Wildebeest migration safari in September

In September, the migration herds continue to arrive and feed on the grasses in Kenya’s greater Masai mara viewing wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River in herds is also still a common occurrence. The abundant local wildlife only enhances the overall experience, and this is simply an excellent time of year to be in Kenya.

What to expect during September wildebeest migration

The best time to visit northern Serengeti and Lobo is during September (earliest) and October, when the Great wildebeest migration passes through the area on the southward leg from the Serengeti Mara area and the Masai mara back to the to the southeastern Serengeti Plains. The area sometimes also hosts large numbers of wildebeest in July, but only in wetter years when the northward migration uses a more easterly route. 

Where to stay during September wildebeest migration

Northern Serengeti! Lamai and Kogatende are the place to be if you are hoping to catch the crossings and the migration herds in general. It is important to remember that when the wildebeest are crossing the Mara River in between Kogatende and Lamai in the Serengeti, they are only sometimes also crossing the Mara River on the Kenyan side!
