4 Days Kenya Wildebeest Migration Safari
This 4 Days Kenya Wildebeest Migration Safari is the best short safari to explore the great migration of the wildebeests and zebras which transverse in a clock wise movement spanning an approximate 3000 kilometer journey as they search for fresh grounds and rear their young ones during seasonal changes every year crossing over to Kenya’s Masai Mara from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and back. This 4 Days Kenya Wildebeest Migration safari is great for photography and filming where you will have a chance to shoot amazing scenes and photographs of the major wildlife species Kenya has to offer as you follow up the great migration. This Safari will take you to Masai Mara in Kenya where you will have a chance for amazing game viewing and watching wildebeest migration. This is an all inclusive trip which will start and end in Kenya, Nairobi. This trip can as well be customized to match your interests.
The best time to see the Great Migration is during the dry season period that is between the months of July to early October every year this is the same period we recommend you book with this 8 Days Kenya and Tanzania Wildebeest Migration Safari. During this period in the southern parts of Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater the vegetation is sparse and dry, the waterways are as well dry this forces the wildebeests and Zebras to migrate to the North plains that is southern part of Masai Mara National Park to search for fresh vegetation and water. During the Migration the wildebeests and Zebras rear their young ones, this is not simple given the fact it is more of 3000 miles journey which tiresome making it a life and death migration, many die due to exhaustion giving a chance to other carnivore animals to ease their search for food like Hyenas, Cheetahs and Lions. Of the above dry months August and September are the best months to see the Great Migration given the fact this is good time as well to experience the river crossing during the migration, late October the rains will resume in Tanzania and the herds will start their journey back to southern parts of Serengenti National Park and Ngorongor crater grassland plain areas.
