masai mara wildebeest migration
Masai Mara 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. The Wildebeest Migration journey is 1,800 miles and tough and arduous, with many animals falling prey to Africa’s lion, leopard and cheetah – not to mention the crocodiles which lie in wait each year for that first wildebeest to cross the Grumeti and Mara Rivers. Seeing the sheer magnitude of animals amongst the wildebeest migration, as well as the drama and action this extraordinary natural spectacle provokes, is nothing short of miraculous. December – March: Ndutu, Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater. Over 80% of the wildebeest are busy giving birth on the lush flat grasslands of Ndutu, attracting a lot of attention from hungry predators, before beginning their journey all over again. From Dec – Mar you are most likely to catch the wildebeest migration at: Serengeti Maswa, Olakira. April – May: The Ndutu Plains can no longer sustain the wildebeest, with their new born calves and the migration begins to sweep north into the Serengeti’s Western Corridor. From Apr – May you are most likely to catch the wildebeest migration at: Olakira, Sabora, Faru Faru. June: The wildebeest move further north again, entering the Lamai wedge in the Northern Serengeti. In June you are most likely to catch the wildebeest migration at: Lamai Nomad, North Camp. July – October: Countless herds now swell along the Mara River, in search of the sweet grass on the plains of the Masai Mara, in Kenya – this is where they will spend the next few months, eating every blade of grass in sight, and attempting to dodge lions, leopards and cheetah, after facing the famous Mara River Crocodiles. From Jul – Oct you are most likely to catch the wildebeest migration at: All of the Masai Mara Camps, and all of the Northern Serengeti Camps, just email us for further advice. November: The arrival of East Africa’s short rains pull the Wildebeest back into Tanzania, and into the North East of the Serengeti, before making their way back down to the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains to give birth. In November you are most likely to catch the wildebeest migration at any of the central Serengeti camps.
