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 13 days ago · 8 Oct 2026, 05:00

Mid-October 2026 — the southward return is now in full swing. The Mara River crossing window is closing as the last large columns push back across into northern Serengeti. Herds are building fast at Kogatende and across the Lamai Wedge, and the Lobo corridor is filling with the southbound columns that will carry the migration back toward the central plains through the rest of October.

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.
