three-day Serengeti migration

Safari summary

The migration follows a circular path, dictated by the rains and the availability of food. The animals move in a continuous cycle, heading northward during the dry season and southward during the wet season. The migration is a dangerous journey, as the animals have to cross rivers, brave predators, and face other challenges along the way.

The migration starts around January, with the wildebeest calving season. Thousands of baby wildebeest are born each day during this time, providing an easy target for predators. As the rains stop and the grass dries up, the herds start to move northwards, heading towards the Grumeti River and the Mara River. The Mara River crossing, which usually takes place between July and September, is the most dramatic part of the migration. The animals have to navigate crocodile-infested waters and steep banks, while predators such as lions, hyenas, and leopards wait for their chance to strike.

As the herds move across the plains, they leave behind a trail of dust and the sounds of their constant lowing. The spectacle of hundreds of thousands of animals moving together is truly awe-inspiring and draws visitors from all over the world.

The cost of a 3-day wildebeest migration package will vary depending on the time of year, the level of accommodation, and the type of transportation used. However, you can expect to pay between $1,500 and $2,000 per person for a basic package.

Here are some of the things to expect on a 3-day wildebeest migration package:

You will see millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other animals on their annual migration.
You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic African wildlife, including lions, elephants, and cheetahs.
