Experience the Thrilling Wildebeest Migration with Our Safari Packages with Expeditions safaris.
The Great Wildebeest Migration – every year almost two million wildebeest, zebra, topi, and antelope migrate from the vast Serengeti Plains in Tanzania, to the lush rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara in Kenya. This extraordinary natural spectacle, known as the Great Wildebeest Migration, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be on every safari enthusiast’s bucket list.
If you’re looking to witness this incredible phenomenon, there are various safari packages available that cater to the wildebeest migration. One such package is the Wildebeest Migration Safari Package, which offers a 10-day adventure across the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. This package not only includes the opportunity to witness the wildebeest migration but also explores other stunning destinations such as Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
For those specifically interested in experiencing the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara, the Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Tour is the perfect choice. This 4-day, 3-night package introduces you to the 8th wonder of the world – the great wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara. Witnessing the largest overland migration on earth and the incredible river crossings is an indescribable experience that will leave you in awe.
Contrary to popular belief, the wildebeest migration is not a fixed occurrence with specific dates. It is a continuous and endless event that follows a circular movement between the Serengeti National Park and the Masai Mara National Reserve. The herds cover a distance of over 3,000 kilometers annually, with the Mara River crossings being one of the most thrilling moments of the journey. These crossings typically happen between July and August, but the exact timing cannot be predicted.
When planning a wildebeest migration safari, it is important to book early, preferably at least a year in advance. The lodges and camps in the area fill up fast, especially during the high season from June to October. However, it’s important to note that you can see the herds at any time of the year, so arranging your timing carefully depends on what you want to see and experience.
To enhance your safari experience and avoid crowds, consider going for a private safari or staying in a private reserve or conservancy. This allows for exclusivity and accessibility to the herds while enjoying the beauty of the national parks without the high-season rush.
The wildebeest migration is not only a spectacle of wildebeest but also attracts other wildlife, including zebras, antelopes, and various predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and crocodiles. It’s a vibrant ecosystem where nature’s drama unfolds, showcasing the circle of life in the African savannah.
If you’re considering a wildebeest migration safari, it’s essential to plan your trip in advance, taking into account factors such as the duration of the safari, accommodation options, and budget. The migration can be seen from both the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, so it’s worth considering combining the two destinations for a more comprehensive experience.
Whether you choose to witness the great wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or both, it’s a journey that promises awe-inspiring moments, incredible wildlife sightings, and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.
