Great Migration Camping Safari 6 Days
Safari Overview
The Great Migration happens throughout the year. The precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year as vast numbers of wildebeests accompanied by zebras and a number of Grant’s gazelle move constantly seeking pasture and water. Alongside the great migration is the calving season where about 250,000 wildebeests give birth in a synchronized manner which may begin in January and by February a large number of wildebeest calves have already been born.
While the migration may seem like a chaotic frenzy of movement, it is a unique season, epic in scale where a herd of wildebeest possesses what is known as ‘swarm intelligence, as the wildebeest systematically explore and overcome obstacles on a cyclic journey.
Get ready to enjoy “The Beautiful Tanzania” simply unveiling itself before your very eyes.
The great wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the wildebeests, accompanied by zebras and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala. The migration happens throughout the year, constantly seeking pasture and water. The precise timing of the wildebeest migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year. The herds move up from Ngorongoro Conservation Area and south of the Serengeti, the Loliondo Game Controlled Area, and the Grumeti Reserve. They then leave Tanzania briefly to spend time in the Maasai Mara in Kenya, which borders Serengeti National Park to the north, before heading back again.
Alongside the great migration is calving season where about 250,000 wildebeests give birth in a synchronized manner. Depending on the previous rain patterns, calving may begin in January where and by February a large number of wildebeest calves have already been born. This season is unique and short-lived but epic in scale where the opening mostly happens within three months.
