Accommodation: Kisura Serengeti Camp or Similar
On this day you, you will go for a full day game drive. As one of our planet’s last intact migrations, the annual movement of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is arguably the most impressive spectacle in the natural world. Every year about 1 to 1.5 million wildebeests, 200,000 zebras and 500,000 Thompson’s gazelles move around the Serengeti ecosystem. These more than two million animals on the move do not follow a strict calendar schedule but rather environmental cues that help them follow the rains and lead them to fresh grasslands. Therefore, as the timing of the Migration is almost entirely dependent on local weather conditions, there is no way to guarantee where the migratory herds will be at any particular time; the timetable of their journey varies from year to year.
