Great Wildebeest Migration safaris in Tanzania and Kenya | Super Game Tanzania Tours & Safaris
The Great Wildebeest Migration – the annual migration of giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly spectacular event. Over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in search of green pasture, in a regular pattern. This is surely one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.
It’s drama on a truly epic scale: the migrating herds undergo all manner of challenges and hardships as
they move from region to region, and are constantly under attack from predators, none more so than
from Africa’s big cats and the notoriously huge crocodiles that lie in wait at various river crossing points.
You’ll need to plan your visit carefully: the wildebeest migration is a fluid, dynamic affair taking place
between two countries – Kenya and Tanzania – and subject to the timing of that year’s rains. It’s also an
event of different experiences: depending on where you are and at what time, you may see the
wildebeest herds giving birth and courting, moving in great dusty columns, or funneling across muddy
rivers.
There’s plenty of well-located accommodation both in the Masai Mara and the Serengeti to enable you
to experience the migration, and nearly all scheduled tours and safaris to either country include
excursions into the two conservation areas. Click on our where to go for the wildebeest migration
