Let us paint you a picture: the lush rippling grass of the Serengeti, the puffs of dirt rising as hooves race over the earth, rippling manes blowing in the breeze. These are just small slices of what you\u2019ll see when the Great Wildebeest Migration occurs this year \u2013 and even then, you won\u2019t be able to comprehend one of nature\u2019s most astounding phenomena in its entirety.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Walking<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The annual migration of wildebeest begins in the Southern area of Tanzania, looping in a clockwork direction through Serengeti National Park and then north towards the Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya. But what is truly miraculous about this circular migration is the sheer size of it. Near 1.7 million wildebeest, 260,000 zebras, 460,000 gazelles and other plains game make the journey across these natural reserves, based on the availability of food, water and grazing space. The migration stretches over months and obeys some of our most instinctive instincts \u2013 the search for food and water and the comfort of a wider community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Given that this is a natural phenomenon, it makes this great journey unpredictable and hard to track sometimes. However, there is a broader pattern that you can follow, and given the length of this occurrence, you can take your time to decide where and when you\u2019ll witness this moment. Below are your options \u2013 you can book a tour with Thomas Cook and witness the migration from different locations (as well as getting a wider tour of Africa). However, one of the best places to view the Migration from is Kenya, which is why we\u2019ve designed packages that explore this region extensively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, sit back, relax and take a journey to the African plains with us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Great Migration Timeline<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned before \u2013 nature is unpredictable. It is simultaneously enchanting and frustrating to track its behaviour. Luckily for you, the Great Migration takes place annually and follows a broad path \u2013 so if you choose wisely, you\u2019ll get to be a part of it this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We begin in November \u2013 before the migration starts. As this migration is powered by the need for food and water, rainfall is essential. November is usually witness to short rains, which continue till December. This is when herds arrive on the short-grass plains of the Serengeti, around the area of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. February is also the time when you\u2019ll see plenty of wobbly new-born calves \u2013 all of whom will undertake this great journey with their parents and the wider community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The month of April is when the herds start to move north. By May, the journey is fully underway. You\u2019ll see thundering masses of game streaking across the areas of Moru Kopjes and Seronera (both in Tanzania).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In June, you\u2019ll see them massing near the south side of the Grumeti River. Although the river isn\u2019t perilous, it is filled with swirling pools and channels, where the crocodiles lie waiting. The herd often gathers here before crossing, taking on the river together.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In July and August, the herds continue north to the heart of the Serengeti reserves, while smaller groups may break off heading towards Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

September is when the migration meets its biggest obstacle \u2013 the mighty Mara river. The river powers its path through northern Serengeti from Kenya\u2019s Maasai Mara Game Reserve. This is one of the most exciting spectacles to watch, as hundreds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles charge their way through the river\u2019s currents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By October, the herds are migrating towards the south, going through Western Loliondo and the Lobo area of Serengeti, heading back to the green grass of the Serengeti as the November rains approach. And thus, the cycle of life for the wildebeest continues\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The good news is that the migration has plenty to offer for the curious or the nature lover. Although the migration starts in the Serengeti, the most popular place to see these breath-taking visuals is in Kenya. We, at Thomas Cook, have designed our holiday packages keeping that in mind. We\u2019ve chosen some of the best locations to view the Great Migration, and other wildlife wonders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Maasai Mara<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This park is all about multitudes \u2013 multiples species of animals and birds, multiple landscapes and is even called by multiple names \u2013 Masai Mara, Maasai Mara and even The Mara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The park, named Mara, which is the Masai word for \u201cspotted\u201d, is spotted with circles of trees, shrubs and even cloud shadows that are cast across the plains. If you\u2019re looking for a rich assortment of wildlife and ecosystems, Masai Mara is the park for you. It is famous, across the world, for its lion, cheetah and leopard population. The Natural Reserve is only one part of the greater Mara Ecosystem, which includes multiple reserves that can be explored.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ribboning their way across this reserve are the beautiful Mara, Talek (a tributary of Mara) and the Sand rivers, which are home to the mighty hippopotami.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lake Naivasha<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This freshwater lake in Kenya sits at the highest elevation of the Kenyan Rift Valley and is fed through two perennial rivers, ensuring a steady supply of water. It is home to 400 different varieties of birds, hippos and other wildlife. Its name is derived from a local Maasai name Nai\u2019posha, meaning rough water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Amboseli National Park<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Formerly known as Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, the Amboseli National Park in Kenya is one of the best places in the world to view free-ranging elephants. Furthermore, the park is home to native Maasai people. You can also catch stunning glimpses of the magnificent Kilimanjaro \u2013 a dormant volcano in Tanzania.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tsavo National Park<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Named after the Tsavo River that flows west to east in this region, the Tsavo National Park is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya. Here you\u2019ll be able to visit iconic landmarks like the Yatta Plateau \u2013 the longest lava flow, the Lugard falls, the Mudanda Rock and (it goes without saying) diverse wildlife.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
