The 6 Days Masai Mara Wildebeest and Predators Migration Safari takes place in Masai Mara National Reserve from the month of August to early October. The principle players are the wildebeests accompanied by Thompson gazelles, Zebras and elands. Also following on the trails are predators such as lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and other small predators.
Once they arrive on the grasslands of Masai Mara, the wildebeests spend several months feeding and fattening, taking advantage of the large amount of green pasture and rains. On this 6 Days Masai Mara Wildebeest and Predators Migration Safari you’ll also have the chance to follow predators who at this time will be having a field day, though they are sometimes unable to follow the moving herds very far. (See Facts About the Annual Wildebeest Migration. )You will also witness the spectacular natural show as the wildebeests cross the crocodile infested Mara River, with some getting injured in the stampede while the not so lucky ones getting drowned by the gigantic Nile crocodiles.
