The wildebeest migration - it's ultimately one of the most popular times to go on an African safari tour. The event is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. During the migration, about 1.2 to 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and several species of antelope, make an annual, circular tour between the Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya, in search of greener pastures.
Reports from Masai Mara indicate that the wildebeest migration from Serengeti in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya has begun.
On the evening of Monday 6th of June 2011, the first batch of a few wildebeest, accompanied by a huge herd of zebra (about 2000 zebra) arrived. They made their triumphant entrance huffing and snorting. The arrival of the zebra is an indication that the wildebeest will be arriving soon. In fact, going by his indication, the spectacular river crossing in the Mara may take place as soon as by next week (by June 15 2011). At the moment, there are large numbers of zebra crossing at the Sand Rivers.
What is certain is that the coming few weeks are going to be exciting in terms of the wildebeest migration.
