Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris

The wildebeest migration safari isn’t your ordinary Big 5 safari, as nature does keep and follow its own time. In the recent years, even some of the veteran wildlife moviemakers and photographers who have participated in the well-documented river crossings have failed to predict when and where.

Thankfully, it’s the unpredictability of the migration, the expected river crossings reward the ever-patient safari guides, and the seasoned guests on how best how to enjoy the vast savannahs while waiting for the dramatic river crossings and predator actions that can be delayed for hours to days. In this case, good planning and patience are the golden rules.

The weather pattern is key to this natural phenomenon as the rains determines how the event unfolds so many kilometers behind. With the coming of the rains,   tracking the herds is not an exact science, but the same general pattern that has been showcased year in year out. Again, note that the rain could delay and this contributes to the outcome of the migration itself.
