Frequently Asked Questions .
Frequently Asked Questions .
What is the Great Wildebeest Migration?
The Great Wildebeest Migration is an annual movement of over two million wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes across East Africa. This natural phenomenon takes place in search of fresh grazing, spanning from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Maasai Mara, driven by the seasonal rains.
When is the best time to see the Migration?
The best time to witness the Migration in Kenya and Tanzania is from June to October, especially during the thrilling river crossings at Grumeti River (Tanzania) and Mara River (Kenya). The wildebeests are most active from July to August during these crossings.
What are the key moments to witness during the Migration?
The most dramatic moments of the migration are the river crossings, where wildebeests face crocodile-infested waters and strong currents. These moments offer some of the most intense and thrilling wildlife encounters in the world.
Can I see the Big Five during the Migration?
Yes, both Kenya and Tanzania offer opportunities to see the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos—along with a variety of other wildlife, including cheetahs, giraffes, and a vast array of bird species.
How long does the migration last?
The Great Migration is a year-round event, but the key moments, including the river crossings, occur mainly between June and October. The migration cycle spans across Tanzania and Kenya as the herds move with the seasons.
Where is the best place to stay during the Migration?
Both Tanzania and Kenya offer a range of accommodation options, from luxury lodges and tented camps to mobile camps strategically placed in the heart of the migration routes. Staying in Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and the Maasai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) provides prime viewing access.
What wildlife can I expect to see during the Migration besides wildebeests?
Apart from the wildebeests, expect to see zebras, gazelles, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, and a rich diversity of birdlife. The Migration is not only about the wildebeests but also offers incredible encounters with predators and other iconic African wildlife.
Is a safari tour the best way to experience the Migration?
Yes, a guided safari tour is the best way to witness the Migration, as expert guides will lead you to the best viewing spots, providing insights into the migration’s intricacies and surrounding wildlife. With personalized safari experiences, you can get close to the action.
Can I combine both Kenya and Tanzania during the Migration?
Yes, many safari operators offer combined Kenya and Tanzania safaris to experience the migration in both countries. This allows you to witness the migration’s full cycle, from the southern Serengeti (Tanzania) to the Maasai Mara (Kenya), for a truly unforgettable experience.
