Great Migration Tracker

Where the herds are now across the Serengeti and Masai Mara — curated by our guides, honestly verified, and updated by hand.

Last updated 10 days ago · 13 Sept 2026, 15:32

Mid-September — fresh field reports dated 7–9 September place active herds on both sides of the Mara River. Thousands crossed south-to-north at Crossing Point No. 4 on 9 September, while other herds crossed back toward the Masai Mara on 7 September. Movement remains two-way and rain-led.

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: Updated 13 September 2026 from a seven-day review of lodge, guide, hashtag, X/Twitter, Facebook and recent-video sources. Only dated observations with a named place are published. The current reports do not include GPS coordinates or a confirmed lodge affiliation, so both fresh positions are conservatively marked Community-reported; map coordinates are regional reference points, not claimed sighting coordinates.

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.
