A Wildebeest’s Journey A 5 Day Safari in Maasai Mara

Kenya, Maasai Mara Child Friendly, Wildebeest Migration, Wildlife Safaris

The Great annual wildebeest migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife occurrences in the world. Known as one of the eight wonders of the new world, the annual wildebeest migration is phenomenal and a must-see at least once in your lifetime.

Millions of wildlife including wildebeest (gnu) and zebra move back and forth between Kenya and Tanzania. During the long rains in Kenya, the abundant rainfall creates lush green vegetation which draws the wildebeest into Kenya. Braving the crocodile-infested Mara River, the wildebeest cross into Maasai Mara in search of green pasture. Hoofs pounding and gnu sounds fill the air as the wildebeest which are in rut flood the Mara plains turning it into a beautifully dark-spotted savannah.

After about three months in Maasai Mara, the wildebeests return south into the Serengeti where millions of wildebeests will be born before they repeat the cyclic journey of the wildebeest.

Day 1
This will be an exceptional safari. The abundance of wildlife on the Savannah is second to none. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and mostly wildebeests are scattered across the Mara. The Big Cats have plenty of prey creating fantastic photography opportunities.

Upon your arrival in Masai Mara, you will check in at the camp, and enjoy your lunch before experiencing a game drive that will introduce you to the spectacular Annual Wildebeest Migration. Return to camp for dinner and retire to bed as the sounds of the gnus' lull you to sleep.
Day 2
Awake at dawn for a full day safari on the Savannah. A migration safari is an amazing safari! The wildebeests or gnus are on the Mara plains in millions and if you listen keenly, you will hear the gnu sound from which they get their name.

Enjoy the game drive and experience the magnificence of the wildebeest moving across the Savannah. At lunchtime, our guide will set up your meal on the Mara plains and you enjoy your meal as you relax and watch the wildlife at a distance. After a fantastic day out in the wilderness, return to camp for dinner.
