The Great Migration of 1.5 million wildbeests

The Masai Mara game is the converging point of the Great Migration starting from Serengeti Rivers, Tanzania. A reported 1.5 million wildebeests cover a distance of 800 km in a clockwise direction to reach their desired destination. On the way they encounter a number of obstacles such as predators in the form of crocs lurking in the muddy waters and the land borne predators in hot pursuit of the wildebeest herds. Apart from wildebeests the long caravan of wildlife will also include flocks of zebra, gazelle, eland, buffalo, and other herbivorous wildlife. This spectacular event takes place between August & November. Though the exodus starts in July the peak season is between these months.

Another interesting touring activity is Kenya Mountain Hiking Adventure along with Kilimanjaro, Tanzania as the twin countries have the tallest mountains in Africa. In Mount Kenya, the country has the second tallest mountain summit which is covered in snow. Another attractive mountain climbing tour is the scaling of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. You will need the support of a mountaineer or guide to reach the nearest summits and your tour operator will arrange that so your climbing is easy and without any untoward incidents.
