The Great Migration Safari
Duration:11 Nights
The Kenya Migration Safari, which is also known simply as the Great Kenyan Migration, is an immense movement of over two million animals migrating from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Nairobi that ends in Mombasa, Kenya. This massive migration of animals is one of the “Seven New Wonders of the World.”
The world famous migration path is known for affording tourists the opportunity to witness leopards, cheetahs and lions, along with the annual migration of Thomson’s gazelle, zebra and wildebeest herds to and from Nairobi. The greatest highlight of this famous Kenya Migration Safari is when the animals cross the Masai Mara.
In the Mara River, the herds attempt to cross the river while facing numerous obstacles; including being hunted by crocodiles and lions.
The Crossing -The Great Migration heads north following Kenya’s rains. Before they reach Kenya, the wildebeest migration is interrupted times by the Serengeti and Mara rivers. While the rivers and lakes pose a significant danger to these herbivores, they continue to trek on despite the risks.
The Migration Paths -Trailing the migration paths allows tourist to spot massive numbers of wild animals, in their natural setting, while also being able to take in the breathtaking sights and sounds of Africa.
The Mount Kenya Safari – This is where elephants, rhinos, lions and other African wildlife roam without borders. You could experience some of the most spectacular wildlife sightings on the planet, while climbing Mount Kenya.
The Samburu National Reserves - This is located on the banks of Ewaso Ng’iro river and on the other side of the Buffalo Springs National Reserve in Kenya. Several species of birds and animals can be seen at Samburu National Reserves. All three big cats, including the lion, cheetah and leopard can be found here. Likewise, there are also buffalo, hippos and elephants at the reserve too.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy – The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a non-profit wildlife conservancy that aims to provide a sanctuary for Africa’s great apes. It also happens to be the largest black rhino sanctuary in the world. Additionally, you can spot all of the “big five” (the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino) animals at this destination.
Lake Nakuru National Park Safari -This national park should never be overlooked. There are 1.2 million of flamingos flocking in and around this place. The alkaline waters of Lake Nakuru plus a bit of rainfall could cause the flamingos to swell in numbers.
Maasai Mara National Reserve – The last destination of the wildebeest migration, where animals are free to graze in the green pastures of Maasai Mara. This is home to large numbers of herds and the “big five.”
The Masai Mara holds the record as the largest lion population in the world and this is also the place that BBC Wildlife Big Cat Diary Channel calls home. So let Tour EAfrica guide you on the ultimate East African safari.
