The Great Migration
The Great Migration safaris is the most alluring activity to look up to on a wildlife safari in Kenya. The wildebeest migrate from Serengeti National Park to Maasai Mara National Reserve during the months of July and October. Maasai Mara National Reserve is where the huge migration takes place and the park’s most sought after natural phenomenon.
The Great Migration, is annual movement of approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebras, thousands of Thomson’s gazelles, and elands from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park across the Mara River to Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. This is known as one of the world’s most famous natural phenomena. In quest of lush pastures, the wildebeest do migrate to the Masai Mara national reserve.
The wildebeest’s migration is disrupted by several predators along the route they are taking, some fall to prey while others are strong enough to persevere and complete the process from Tanzania to Kenya and back.
