- Book for dates at the beginning or end of the main season – the Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris are majorly oriented around the river crossing experiences. Many people travel at a peak time when wildebeest herds are crossing rivers in huge numbers, for them to enjoy this spectacle. This is also the time when lodges are most expensive. This means that if you planned your tour towards the end or beginning of this river crossing period, you can get cheaper rates because there are fewer people traveling at that time. During this time, the river crossings may have fewer animals, but you get to still follow the herds across the plains. During their movements, they encounter many other exciting moments, such as mating, births and even predation by large carnivores in Masai Mara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. All these experiences are very exciting and can make a wonderful safari experience. This means that even if you do not travel at the peak or height of the river crossing season; you still enjoy the Great Wildebeest Migration in Masai Mara or Serengeti. This is another great way to enjoy the Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris on a budget.
