Great Migration Tracker
Where the herds are now across the Serengeti and Masai Mara — curated by our guides, honestly verified, and updated by hand.
Early September — the great herds are massed across the northern Serengeti and Masai Mara, with Mara River crossings still firing while the leading columns begin the long swing back south ahead of the short rains.
Before you follow the markers, let George explain what actually drives the Great Migration — why more than a million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move in a giant clockwise loop through the Serengeti and Masai Mara, how the rains and the grass pull them, why the river crossings happen where they do, and what the predators are doing all the while. It is the context that turns a good sighting into an understanding of one of the last great animal movements on Earth.

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 curated 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.
