The Wildebeest Migration is quite a moving site. It takes place within Kenya and Tanzania and is the greatest wildlife show ever witnessed by man . Between the open plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, thousands of wildebeest and zebras migrate to greener pastures as the seasons changes and the circle of life and death continues. Predators follow the Wildebeest Migration closely, waiting for an opportunity to strike weak and young prey as they make their way into different territories looking for greener pastures.

The precise timing of the Wildebeest Migration changes annually and it is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event. The calving season takes place in the Serengeti between the months of January and mid-March before the Wildebeest Migration begins heading towards the western Serengeti in June. The best time to see the migration is usually between June and August when the wildebeest congregate and prepare to cross the famous Rivers of the Mara which are heavily infested with crocodiles There are a few excellent camps in this area where you can stay to witness this natural phenomenon. If you are in the Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make their arrival as early as July, but they generally arrive between August and September and remain in the Mara between October and November. Between December and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration back towards the Serengeti.

We believe that going on safari to view & witness the Wildebeeste migration is one of the ultimate safari experiences that Kenya has to offer.
