One of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts, the Great Migration in Africa is the ever-moving circular migration of over a million wildebeest, zebras, and other annuals to find greener pastures and fresh waterholes. It is the largest movement of animals in the world, moving each year through the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It occurs every year from July to October From the end of June onwards, more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes will dot the great plains of the Mara, as the great wildebeest migration unfolds.

Testimonials

Our trip to Kenya was flawlessly organized with no hiccups at all. Bhavna and her team is extremely professional and organized. Everything was given to us in advance and we did not have to worry about anything. The Itinerary was well planned so we got enough time for rest and leisure. The travel time was suggested beforehand and was very well adhered to. Our stay in Fairmont resort and Governor’s camp in Masai Mara. Both these places were suggested to us by Bhavna were awesome and perfect blend of the luxury and rustic experience in the wilderness. We don’t think we could have made a better choice.
