You can visit Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda where you will experience the great wildebeest migration and mountain gorilla experiences. Tanzania is famously known for the 3 safari parks which include Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park.
The great wildebeest migration can be experienced in either Kenya or Tanzania. This experience is encountered every year in Kenya, Maasai Mara National Reserve that is bordered by the Mara River to Serengeti, Tanzania.
What month is the wildebeest migration?
The best times to see the migration are between December and March or between May and November. The migration is largely driven by the rains. Just remember that the rains are unpredictable so the wildebeest migration doesn’t operate on a set schedule.
What month is the Great Migration in Kenya?
The best time to visit Kenya is during the Dry season from late June to October (these are the best wildlife viewing months). The wildebeest migration usually reaches the Maasai Mara in August and remains until October when they move back to the Serengeti in Tanzania.
Where do wildebeest migrate to and from?
Every year, more than 2 million animals (wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle) migrate in a clockwise direction across the ecosystems of the Serengeti (Tanzania) and the Maasai Mara (Kenya).
What month is the great migration in Tanzania?
From July – October is when the wildebeest are in the northern Serengeti plains, and you have a chance of seeing up to thousands crossing the great Mara River. As the sight of the wildebeest crossing the so dramatic, it is considered by many the most desirable time to see the migration.
