Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari 4 Days

Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration usually takes place between Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet, where you spot millions of wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra, eland and gazelle grazing, crossing rivers, arriving and leaving, is quite simply mind-blowing. The migration is said to have been in existence hundred of thousands of years ago and the cycle plays out year after year.

Timing of the annual wildebeest migration depends on the rains. It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event, with calving season taking place in the Serengeti between January and mid-March. The wildebeest migration starts to head towards the Western Serengeti for the northern Serengeti plains and woodlands in May or June. The best time to see the migration is generally between July and August when the wildebeest congregate and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River in Serengenti for, Masai Mara we expect the wildebeest to make their arrival as early as July, but they generally arrive between August & September and remain in the Masai Mara between October & November. Between the end of November and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration from the Masai Mara back towards the Serengeti.

Masai Mara reserve is about a third of the size of the Serengeti National Park which also makes it a more manageable area for game viewing and its also one of Africa's best wildlife destinations year round. Masai Mara is a large game reserve in south-western Kenya, which is effectively the northern continuation of the Serengeti National Park game reserve in Tanzania.
