Will crocodiles snatch the courageous wildebeest that leaps in first? Will the animals be able to scramble up the increasingly treacherous and slippery river bank? Will weak or injured wildebeest be able to swim across at all? River crossings are considered the best spectacular highlights in Serengeti Migration. You will naturally be waiting for these brave forerunners, and witnessing the heartbreaking moments when an animal breaks a hind leg trying to climb a bank or loses its precarious grip and falls back down onto others, injuring them all is really harrowing. This is what makes the Migration a true spectacle - the ecstasy and the agony of survival, unedited, unfiltered, in raw true life.
The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti National Park together form Serengeti Migration what no other reserve or park in Africa can! It is incredible, it is magical, it is indescribable and it is a must! Over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener pastures of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya during July through to October. The stage on which this show is set is loosely termed the Serengeti Ecosystem, about 40, 000 square kilometers. This is what most of us know about one of Africa’s truly wondrous natural spectacles.
The calving season in Serengeti Migration usually begins at the end of January and the first two weeks of February are considered peak birth. You can witness the babies can run as fast as their moms within 48 hours. These are very touching scenes to find tiny wildebeest speeding along and of zebras nuzzling their foals. But you can’t avoid witnessing the Predators feast on newborns. Scenes of calves being run down by a cheetah or snatched by lions are the worst thing to watch. Yet the migration offers a lot of fascinations:
- Between January and March, half a million wildebeest are born each year in the Serengeti.
- The animals travel a total of 800km or more.
- The reason why zebra and wildebeest graze in harmony together is because they each eat different parts of the same type of grass.
- During the migration around 250,000 wildebeest and 30,000 zebras are killed.
- There are more than 3,000 lions currently living in the Serengeti ecosystem.
