Masai Mara, Wildebeest Migration  
10 DAY BEST OF EAST AFRICA
Nairobi to Nairobi


Lake Nakuru National Park is world famous for its thousands of pink flamingos and its healthy rhino population, while Lake Naivasha is dotted with papyrus and pods of hippo. The mighty Masai Mara Game Reserve is home to the big five, and the Masai; a semi-nomadic people whose culture and ways have changed little over the centuries. In Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, the vast plains support thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle and the predators follow in their wake, while the Ngorongoro Crater is packed with animals and offers sweeping views from its rim.

MASAI MARA

The Wildebeest Migration in East Africa, also known as “The Great Migration” takes place between Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet. Thousands of wildebeest and zebra’s migrate between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, constantly driven by their search for fresh grazing. The massive herds are closely followed by predators (lion, hyena and cheetah), making the most of every opportunity to catch their next meal.

The precise timing of the annual wildebeest migration depends on the rains. It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event, with calving season taking place in the Serengeti between January and mid-March. The wildebeest migration starts to head towards the Western Serengeti in May or June.
