The Mara River wildebeest crossing is a huge draw … and it is quite a spectacle.
Taken around 6:45 am on our morning game drive in Northern Serengeti.
As much as you see pictures, read articles or watch videos, nothing really prepares you and your senses when you are in the middle of the Great Wildebeest and Zebra Migration, one of the Natural Wonders of the World. The sheer numbers of Wildebeests and Zebras. The grunting and galloping sounds. The smell from these animals. The single file walking. The springy trotting. The predators [amazing 20+ lions enjoying a wildebeest] that are enjoying a field day as ‘food’ is finally abundant. And the landscape, oh the wondrous, landscape.
This is how I feel when sitting in the middle of the herd in Northern Serengeti, a great place to visit year round even when the migration is not around because an array of wildlife is always there to enjoy.
Timeline:
They usually arrive into Northern Serengeti in late June to early July but as with anything in nature, that varies year round. The Wildebeest and Zebra Migration; unpredictable and awesome in its splendor.
