7 Days Wildbest-Migration Safari

7 Days Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari

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 odessey is dictated by the seasons and where the rains are, the wildebeest are not far behind. This epic journey from north to south spans almost 3000 kilometres and is virtually endless.

In the plains of the Serengeti in the Orriental Africa, 1,300,000 animals embark each year on the most epic migration of the earth. The largest mass movement of terrestrial mammals on the planet is chasing African storms in search of new pastures, starting a journey full of dangers. And there are more carnivorous animals hunting through these savannahs than anywhere else in the world. The arrival of the herds heralds an unparalleled food frenzy in the natural world. The migration of the wildebeest is without a doubt the greatest journey of nature.

As seasonal storms water the vast plains of the southern Serengeti, they bring to life the lush meadows that attract the largest concentration of herbivorous animals on the planet. Here the volcanic lands give rise to pastures rich in minerals and nutrients, necessary to feed the large herds that gather in gigantic groups of tens of thousands of individuals, seeking refuge for the group to face this great annual journey. The start of the great migration depends entirely on the rain seasons each year, so, although not exactly, they repeat a fairly predictable pattern annually. The map shows the migration movement month by month. The arrows represent the movement of the main herds.
