6 Days Kenya Wildebeest Migration Safari

The wildebeest migration is one of the spectacles on earth involving millions of wildebeest, thousands of Zebras, Gazelles, and Elands in what is regarded as the annual migration taking place between Kenya’s Masai mara national reserve and Tanzania’s Serengeti national park across the Mara River.

The river crossing usually occurs between mid-July to early September as the wildebeest search for green pasture and water.
