5 Day Wildebeest Migration Safari in Kenya
Kenya Migration Safari
From July to September, the Mara welcomes the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya. During the wildebeest migration, you will witness how the constant battle for survival makes the Migration Season. The Mara River crossing activity is considered the climax of the migration period. The sheer sight of the first herds of animals rushing into the crocodile-infested river will make you long for this wildebeest migration every year.
