If it\\’s the very best wildlife spectacle on earth that you\\’re looking to witness, with your family, the Annual Wildebeest Migration is indeed the World Cup of Wildlife, this is what you\\’re looking for. If it\\’s to get off the beaten track, away from the crowds, this guide is as helpful … just keep away\ud83d\ude0a! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Annual Wildebeest Migration?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The annual wildebeest migration is <\/strong>the movement of over 1.5m wildebeest, 500,000 Burchell\\’s zebra, 200,000 Thompson\u2019s gazelle and 18,000 eland antelope across 40,000 square kilometres; the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara National Reserve & its surrounding conservancies in Kenya … these masses of wildlife are in search of green grass, they\\’re following the rain … hence the exact dates are not 100% predictable, but there is a continuous movement that generally takes place at the same time each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This movement is over expansive plains, accross crocodile infested rivers and through forests; it offers the viewer unbelievable experiences, both incredibly beautiful, awe inspiring, flabberghasting & brutal to the core.  Put your seat belts on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Advise<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

First & foremost, we would like to inform you that the wildlife viewing in the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara is excellent all year round, so any time is a good time to travel to either places, you just need to know where to base yourselves, and this is where we come in handy (did we mention we also own a safari organisation company?). Please feel free to contact us<\/a> and we will help! Being one of the 7th Wonders of the World, don\\’t expect to be here alone, you will be sharing this spectacle with many other cars … unless you know someone who knows something \ud83d\ude09 and we will book you in little private conservancies away from the traffic jams, but close enough to dip in and out as you like! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Guide<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Please use this only as a guideline when planning your East African safari as it is indeed weather dependent\u2026. We\u2019ve had double migrations before, early ones and late ones of course! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
