Great Wildebeest Migration Tour in Kenya
This 12-day Great Wildebeest Migration and Northern Kenya Wildlife Tour will take you to some of the most breathtaking places Kenya has to offer.
Your driver/guide knows the areas very well and will show you the best spots on extended game drives. He will also know when to be at which place to increase your game viewing pleasure and show you the Northern species like Reticulated Giraffe, Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Grevy Zebra and Somali Ostrich.
Samburu’s fascination is the Ewaso Nyiro River with its gallery forest and the hills with their interesting rock formations - check if a leopard is resting on a tree or a rock.
Few people cross the Aberdare Range but we will take you to a landscape you won’t expect near the equator! To spot an impressive Giant Forest Hog is one of the highlights. Black and White Rhinos as well as the rare Rothschild Giraffes, Flamingos and Pelicans will be the target at Lake Nakuru National Park. From here you are heading to one of the World Wonders - The Great wildebeest migration!
Your driver/guide will not spare any effort to let you experience the movements of the herds, wait patiently for a herd to cross the Mara River and spot big cats - maybe you will be lucky and witness a hunting scene. Watching cats feeding and vultures, jackals and Spotted Hyenas to grab the leftover is a spectacle on its own - hissing and fighting for the best bite creates a very lively scenario.
2 Million White-bearded Wildebeest also hundred thousands of Plain Zebras, Thomson Gazelles, Topis and some non-territorial lions move from mostly July into the Masai Mara from Serengeti - The Great Wildebeest Migration in Kenya is not only 1 species. Some will cross the Mara River and will return to the Serengeti from the end of October. We have more than 20 years of experience with the wildebeest migration in Kenya and know where to take you to fully experience it.
We conduct our game drives in a way that you spend as much time on game drives as possible without kilometer limitation. Full-day excursions in the Masai Mara are the norm so you won’t have to rush back to the lodge for lunch but enjoy packed lunch under a shade-providing tree from where you can overlook the Mara River and maybe wait for a herd to cross the Mara River or view over the rolling hills.
Great Wildebeest Migration Tour highlights include:
- Mara River Crossing - tension is high when Wildebeest and Zebras cross the Mara River while Crocodiles are waiting
- Watching herds of Wildebeest move from one grazing place to the other in one line like a chain
- Big and small cats - all visited parks are inhabited by cats. Samburu is a very good spot for Leopards but also Cheetahs and Lions. Very big and large leopards live in the mountain forest of the Aberdare. Masai Mara is the cat area...
- Northern species which are not found anywhere else in safe regions: Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy Zebra, Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk (also occurs in Tsavo and Amboseli region) and Somali Ostrich
- Mountain Forest and Moorland with the special animals like Giant Forest Hog and Black and White or Mantled Colobus Monkey (Colobus guereza kikuyuensis) is endemic to the Aberdare/Mt. Kenya and part of the Great Rift Valle
