What is the Great Wildebeest Migration? – Wildebeest Migration in Tanzania
The Great Migration is an incredible event that takes place every year. It involves over 1.5 million wildebeests and thousands of Zebras moving together across the plains. The journey starts from the southern parts of Serengeti National Park plains and Ngorongoro crater to the southern parts of Masai Mara National Park in Kenya and back to Serengeti National Park. This migration is called the Great Migration because it’s special and challenging, involving a circular route covering about 800 to 1,000 kilometers. The animal’s mover in search for fresh grass and water especially during the dry season when resources are scarce. The migration usually happens during the dry months, making it a remarkable sight for those on safari. Visiting Tanzania during this time offers an unforgettable African Safari Experience.
The Mara River Crossing
After spending several weeks gathering near the riverbanks, the wildebeest are ready to begin their challenging journey across the Mara River. The river is home to around 3,000 crocodiles that wait silently, ready to catch their next meal, ensuring only the strongest survive. The crossing is especially dramatic during the wildebeest migration and is a key highlight for anyone on a safari in both Tanzania and Kenya. Besides crocodiles, lions and other predators also follow the migrating herds, leaving the animals with little choice but to brave the dangerous waters. Seeing a wildebeest being caught during the crossing is a common and unforgettable sight.
What is the best time to see the Great Migration in Tanzania?
The best time to see the Great Migration in Tanzania is from July to October each year. During these dry months, especially in July, August, and September, the vegetation in the southern parts of Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater becomes sparse and dry and the water sources dry up too. This forces the wildebeests and zebras to move northward to the plains of Masai Mara in Kenya to find fresh grass and water.
This migration is a busy and dangerous time because the animals are also caring for their young during this long journey, which can be over 3000 miles. It’s a tough trip, and many animals tire out or even die along the way, which makes room for other carnivore animals to ease their search for food like Hyenas, Cheetahs and Lions to hunt more easily.
This months of August and September are considered the best for witnessing this incredible event, especially the dramatic the river crossing during the migration, late October the rains will resume in Tanzania, and the herds begin heading back south to their original grazing areas in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
