8 Day Lodge Safari
Would you like to join a migration safari? The migration safari will allow you to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration. Over 2 million Wildebeest, Zebra and Gazelles traverse the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems, seeking out lush meadows and a secure place for birth. This 8-Day Serengeti Migration Safari, organized by Bujo Tours, provides a unique African holiday package to observe the grand spectacle of the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration.
The highest probability to witness river crossings happens around July and August when the wildebeest embark on their journey from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya, or around September and October when the animals reverse their journey. July signifies the commencement of the Masai Mara River crossing and the mating season in the Serengeti. This period of the year sees the wildebeest herds accelerating their movement in pursuit of water and fresh vegetation, making their way across the Grumeti and Mara River. Get ready for potential crocodile sightings, with a bit of luck.
