Kenya, Masai Mara

Experience the Great Wildebeast Migration, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, one of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts

Massive animal migrations are among nature's most inspiring events. Whether by wing, fin, or hoof, the distance some creatures travel in search of new habitat is paralleled only by what they endure. Migration of marine mammals like sea Turtle to Pacific countries, Whales from Antarctica to African countries, Salmon fish migration in Canada, Great Migration of wildebeests from Tanzania to Kenya, Tiny arctic bird Tern from New Zealand and China, and epic journey of the monarch butterflies from the United States and Canada to Mexico are common. Migrations also play a vital role in our natural ecosystems—they are the veins and arteries of Mother Earth—and they are a reminder that all of the world's habitats are interconnected. Here in this tour, We, Benny’s Royal Tours introduce to you the planet's greatest migration of Animals -The Great Wildebeest Migration, one of The Seven Natural Wonders of The World.

Every year, millions of zebra, wildebeest, and other antelope migrate across the mighty plains of Serengeti, Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya. From July to September 2 million animal populations should cross the Mara River in Kenya in search of grass and water. Later we will give you a chance to witness the river crossing, the Largest Terrestrial Mammal Migration on Earth (subject to luck) Masai Mara. This is one of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts and that tops the bucket list of many travellers.

Tour FAQ

What is the Great Wildebeest Migration?

  • The Great Wildebeest Migration is the world’s largest terrestrial animal migration, where over two million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes move in a circular route between Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve in search of fresh grazing land and water.

Why is the Great Migration considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World?

  • It is recognized for its sheer scale, dramatic river crossings, predator-prey interactions, and its crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem of East Africa. No other land migration on Earth matches its size or intensity.

When is the best time to witness the Wildebeest Migration?

  • The best period is from July to September, when the herds cross the Mara River in Kenya. This is the most dramatic phase of the migration, although sightings depend on natural movement and timing.

Will we definitely see the Mara River crossing?

  • River crossings are natural and unpredictable, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, our itinerary is carefully planned to maximize the chances of witnessing this iconic event, subject to wildlife movement and luck.
