I am currently planning my absolute dream bucketlist trip to Africa and I am so excited and of course want to travel at the best time possible to see the great migration. Has anyone been and has some recommendations?

Hopefully someone who has been has some tips for us
I have gone but not to see the migration. I was honestly told that typically when people want to see the migration they expect to see the wildebeest trampling through the water etc which you can see something but typically it is more so just seeing thousands and thousands of wildebeest.
That being said the best time to see the migration in the Serengeti is June - October (dry season).
I travelled with Intrepid Travel and did a camping trip which I highly recommend. It sounded crazy to be camping in the middle of the Serengeti but you feel so safe because of the expertise of the operator. It is also a much more affordable way to see Africa without having to stay in the lodges.
I also then highly recommend ending the trip on Zanzibar for a little beach time
