With summer right around in this July and August being the high season months for holidays, this is the perfect time to come face to face with some of Kenya’s marvelous wildebeest. Their migration runs right through to October, so you’re not limited on months to experience this fantastic safari.
Herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles make a circular tour between the Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya. Moving across ecosystems in search of green pasture, the wildebeest migration is one of the greatest wonders in Kenya.
We offer you a variety of Kenya safari packages which enable you to visit the remarkable Masai Mara game reserve. Not only will you see thousands of wildebeest, but the reserve offers the highest concentration of wild animals, including leopards, lions and cheetahs.
If you’re looking for a short stay safari in Kenya, our 03-day Masai Mara game reserve safari tour for the great wildebeest migration also includes all the intensive wildlife and traditional Masai culture and lifestyle. For 1 night, you can experience a private excursion and stay in a range of accommodation, from luxury to economy.
Alternatively, experience the Masai Mara ecosystem for longer and stay for a 4-day Kenya safari, discovering the Wildebeest migration and more. Here you can take a twice a day game drive and explore more. Across your stay, you will embark on wildlife game viewing drives and have the opportunity to visit the local Masai village or view the scenic plains on a hot air balloon flight.
If you thrive for adventure and want to see more of Kenya in addition to the great wildebeest migration experience, delve into a national park extravaganza in a 10 Day Kenya safari package. This magical Kenya safari visits the likes of Amboseli and Lake Naivasha before landing at the Masai Mara Game Reserve where you can view the Wildebeest Migration in all its glory. This safari gives you the everlasting memories of Kenya at large. It is hard to describe the feeling of watching these huge herds of wild animals moving across the plains, kicking up dust, as they thunder about. If you see them on the move, it almost feels like there’s thunder rumbling under the African ground. And that’s before we talk about the dramatic river crossings in June/July, all beset by crocodiles.
It is commonly thought that planning a trip to any area in the Serengeti or Mara at any time of the year, you will be able to see these vast herds of animals and witness their adrenaline-filled river crossings. This is a misconception, though. The herds move a lot. This means that, in order to see them, you need to be where they are at the time of year that you’re going.
