Experience the Great Wildebeest Migration

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and magnificent views of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, 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, Bennys 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. This is a must-see event during the Migration. They will reach this place by traveling 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometres) of land from Serengeti in Tanzania. Later they will move to the Ngorongoro National Park in Tanzania. In this tour, we will give you a chance to witness the river crossing, the Largest Terrestrial Mammal Migration on Earth (subject to luck), Serengeti, Masai Mara, Ngorongoro, Amboseli National Parks, and the magnificent views of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro in a single tour. This is one of the most soughtafter experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts and that tops the bucket list of many travellers.
