Wildebeest Migration a Serengeti Highlight with African Travel, Inc.
~ Explore The Greatest Wildlife Region of East Africa On An Unforgettable Safari ~
The extraordinary annual Great Migration of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores across the Serengeti and Masai Mara is one of the most amazing sights in nature and African Travel, Inc. wants you to see it for yourself! The annual migration is a seasonal event and the timing varies month by month, year by year. This non-stop parade of animals consists of over one million wildebeest, approximately 250,000 Zebras and countless Thompson’s Gazelles. The plains predators follow the migration and game viewing can be spectacular. The best places to see the migration vary from month to month, with the best viewing from July to November.
According to Jim Holden, President of African Travel, Inc., “The annual wildebeest migration, which takes place seasonally in Tanzania and Kenya, is one of nature’s miracles, starkly demonstrating the rhythms of life in Africa. First the rain turns the grass succulent and green attracting the wildebeest, who in turn attract the predators in the form of lions and crocodiles, who feed on the wildebeest as they cross the savannah and rivers following the path of the ripening grass.”
African Travel offers several unforgettable packages to give you the best wildebeest migration viewing opportunities on the fabled plains of the Serengeti or the Masai Mara, depending on the time of year.
