Natural phenomena take place worldwide, but a few can match the annual wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara. The numbers are certainly tough to believe, approximately 2 million wildebeest as well as gazelles and zebra move clockwise in and around this gigantic ecosystem, impelled by ancient intuitions to discover fresh grazing & water.

Every year about 1.5 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebra and diverse groups of antelopes accumulate their young and commence their prolonged trek from Tanzania’s Serengeti plain to Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. The wild animals go in hunt of food & water. It is a difficult voyage, and each year an anticipated 250,000 wildebeest fall short of it. This is the main highlight as the wildebeests try & cross the Mara River alive.

The migrating groups experience all types of hardships and challenges as they move from one area to another, and are regularly under assault from predators. But still each year, the cycle is reoccurred, with the creatures pursuing their strong migrant intuition and trying to overcome wild currents, crocodile-packed rivers, and herds of predators waiting for their prey.

From July to October, the grazing wilds take a 4 month long walk on the way to the Mara River. In desperate requirement of grass to graze and water to drink, the innumerable herds require to cross the river to get to the lush plains in Maasai Mara. The globe’s most exceptional spectacle is the mass wildebeests crossing the swollen Mara River.

The plentiful wildlife & the isolation of Maasai Mara implant memories that money can’t buy. Wildebeest migration is a spectacle to behold during your Tanzania safari tours and it is even more thrilling watching it above the ground with a balloon safari. Witnessing this wonder from the sky is certainly a thing to cherish forever.

“A lot of firms run the same cookie-cutter “migration” trip throughout the year, driving the whole northern route of Tanzania with no attention to be given in an exacting space at a time that taunts with the influx of the swarms. We concentrate on the most dependable time to witness the wildebeests, then develop our safari circuit & dates around that. In particular, we spend 3 days throughout the peak immigration season in the southern Serengeti, wherein more than a million wildebeest drop their young ones on the grasslands each year, alluring predators for an exceptional nature experience. You are coming to witness Tanzania’s greatest wildlife show, and our huge experience enables us the best opportunity to meet your expectations” says chief travel consultant at Wildebeest Safaris Ltd.
