Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari Explained: – From the Serengeti in Tanzania, to the Masai Mara in Kenya, the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari attracts thousands of nature enthusiasts, filmmakers and photographers who come from around the world to witness one of Africa’s most dazzling cycles of life. The Annual Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari from the Serengeti in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya is one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world, the annual movement of massive herds of wildebeest continues year-round in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve.

Each year, almost two million wildebeest and 20 000 plains game migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti to the south of Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of lush grazing grounds and life-giving water. This treacherous odyssey is dictated by the seasons and where the rains are, the wildebeest are not far behind. This Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari journey from north to south spans almost 3000 kilometers and is virtually endless.

Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari – During July to October, over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener pastures of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari 2019-2020Nowhere on earth will you witness such an immense movement such as the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari. While taking in two different countries, the wildebeest make time for birthing, courting and mating on the way – while trying to survive crocodile infested waters and other ravenous, stalking predators. Witnessing the struggle of survival for these animals on their ‘big trek’ has dubbed this spectacle as the World Cup of Wildlife, and it comes as no surprise that it has also been ranked as one of the “Seven New Wonders of the World”.

If you are planning a trip to witness the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari, it is important to understand that the migration is an ongoing, natural process. In essence, the massive herds are continuously in search of greener pastures and they typically move from the southern and eastern Serengeti in the wet season grazing to the dry season habitat in the north on either side of the Mara River.

As the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari is a very fluid, dynamic process that is subject to the timing of that year’s rains, it is an event that can provide different experiences depending on where you find yourself in the process. One of nature’s greatest spectacles, the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari is truly the most sought after wildlife experience for travelers across the globe. Each year during the Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari, over one million wildebeest move through Northern Tanzania and Kenya, searching for fresh grass and water. During this time, they will birth calves, brave crocodile-infested waters, and try to outwit predators such as the lions, cheetahs, and leopards lying in wait.

The wildebeest migration in East Africa is the largest land migration of mammals in the world. No other experience compares in scale to the huge numbers of incredible animals that constitute this migration. It’s a seething, beautiful mass of movement unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Africa Wildebeest Migration Safari
Late December to March
: The herds are beginning to move back to the South of Serengeti from the north. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the south is now populated by short nutritious grasses. This provides the favorable environment for the herds to have their calves. Mid-February is actually considered a calving season, an estimated 400,000 calves are born during this period. It is also an interesting period for those who love game, as the calving season attracts a good number of lions, cheetahs and hyenas to the herds.

Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari 2019-2020Late March to Early May: The herds begin migrating towards the north as the rich nutritious grass is now not sufficient to sustain the endless herds. They split and some move towards the central of Serengeti but the most migrate towards the western corridor. At the beginning of June, the herds are concentrated around Grumeti River in the West. They reside here for the three months as they wait to proceed north.

July-October: By late June, things are beginning to dry up. The herds begin moving to their next destination point, the North/The Mara game reserve. Because the herds are split, the migration can be spread over huge distances. The zebras might be the first to arrive in the Mara followed by the Wildebeests later on. The Mara River is towards the northern side and the most spectacular river crossing waits during this period. Game watching is fantastic during this time with almost guaranteed daily river crossing, with hungry crocodiles present in the rivers.

November/December: The herds begin to move towards the southern part of Serengeti with its short green grass, and to begin another cycle again.
