What to Expect During Masai Mara Migration Safari

You must be aware of the saying, “the grass is always greener on the other side.” Yes, this is precisely true if you notice it during migration. Every year, about two million wildebeest trek on their way from southern Serengeti to the green pastures of Masai Mara. This is what we call The Great Migration and is a safari must-see.

Reputed tour operators organize Masai Mara Migration Safari; being part of that; you can enjoy one of these natural wonders.

What is Migration in Short

With 1,5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra, 12,000 eland, and 300,000 Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles journeying from southern Serengeti to the Masai Mara, the ‘great’ in ‘Great Migration’ might be somewhat of a misrepresentation. The ongoing year-long relocation is a well-known natural phenomenon, the timing of which relies upon natural factors, the climate, and obviously, the actual creatures. So, the greatest vertebrate journey on the planet follows the rainfall. During this period, the herd of wildlife travel 800 kilometers clockwise in a circle through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems looking for greener, mineral-rich fields and water. The creatures spend the vast majority of the cycle in the Serengeti in Tanzania and a few months in the large fields of the Masai Mara.

The Climax of the Migration

As the masses of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles enter the Masai Mara, they have a dangerous welcome by many deadly hunters. Besides the danger of the large cats, the lemming-like masses come face-to-face with more than 3000 crocodiles sneaking in the cloudy waters of the Mara River during their river crossing. Watching the groups aimlessly hop from riverbank edges and into the river waters is fantastic. Ultimately, the vast crowds are compensated with crown jewels of the open Masai Mara fields. For a brief time, life is excellent. However, when the food supply wanes, and the downpours move on, so do the crowds.

When is it Ideal for Expecting the Herd?

The best opportunity to see the Great Migration in the Masai Mara is from July to October. Remember, however, the life-giving force of earthworks for herself. We will furnish you with a genuinely plausible blueprint of when to anticipate those unique minutes during the Great Migration; however, it is impossible to be aware that the crowds will cross the river during a specific timeframe. Weather conditions can be unpredictable and late rains, or early rains can bring about a postponed or early migration pattern. Fortunately, the Masai Mara has a lot of natural life to enjoy lasting throughout the year. The months that are most often referenced as the best season to visit the Great Migration, July to October, are likewise the most active months in the Masai Mara. Most would agree that you will not have the groups to yourself during these months.
