Great Migration Tracker
Where the herds are now across the Serengeti and Masai Mara — curated by our guides, honestly verified, and updated by hand.
4 November 2026 — the herds are well into their southbound run. The main body is spread across the central Serengeti, from the Seronera valley down toward Naabi Hill, and the leading columns are already out on the southern short-grass plains, feeling their way toward Ndutu. The short rains have greened the southern grasslands, and that fresh grazing is pulling the front on by the day. The calving grounds around Ndutu will start to fill from late November into December. The Mara and the far north are quiet, with only trailing groups left behind.

Why trust our tracker
Most migration maps show you a ten-year average and call it live. We do it differently — real intel, honest labels, and a timestamp on everything.
Curated by real guides
Every position is placed by hand from guide reports, partner-lodge sightings and traveller feedback — not scraped from a ten-year average.
Honest verification
Each marker carries its verification level — GPS-confirmed, lodge-verified or community-reported — so you always know how sure we are.
Timestamped, never faked
We show exactly when each position was last updated. If the data is a few days old, we say so. We never dress up old data as live.
Our method: Positions are compiled by hand from on-the-ground guide reports, partner lodge sightings and traveller feedback across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. We never publish a position we cannot stand behind, and every marker carries an honest verification level and a timestamp.
Plan your front-row seat
Reading the herds is our job. When you're ready to be there for the crossing, we build the private trip around it.
