In many ways, the wildebeest migration is the most dramatic wildlife spectacle in the world, but before you rush to get to the heart of the action it’s worth understanding how the migration works from month to month and therefore which are the best areas to head to. Each element of the migration cycle brings different safari experiences. Like most wildlife encounters, much is about luck and patience so make sure you have an excellent and experienced guide who knows the area like the back of their hand.
