A Wildebeest Migration safari tour involves witnessing over a million wildebeest and zebras migrating between the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya for fresh pastures, with the peak period in Kenya being July to October for river crossings and greener grasslands. Tours typically depart from Nairobi, and can be booked through various safari operators, with prices varying by season, duration, and accommodation.
The great arc of this migratory route from Tanzania’s Serengeti to the Maasai Mara in Kenya and then back again is some 1000 km/620 mi – all of it trekked month by month through the year. It’s a test of the animals’ endurance and only the strongest survive the predations of the big cats. The challenges of the route itself like the dangerous river crossings where crocodiles also lay in wait.
In an intriguing evolutionary development, each group of grazers consumes different parts of the grasses they come upon. Zebras eat the taller grasses, while wildebeests tend to eat the shorter. And in a fascinating natural symbiosis, it is thought the saliva from these herds, stimulates new growth in the grasses.
Attracted by the rains on the plains ahead, the animals seem to instinctively know that fresh grasses will follow, thus creating their natural route.
