How to plan a wildebeest migration safari
We often receive questions from our friends and guests; seeking to get some help on how to plan a wildebeest migration safari. We have thus developed this guide to help you with some tips.
Planning a wildebeest migration safari can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Here are some steps to help you plan your wildebeest migration safari:
- Determine when and where you want to go: The wildebeest migration occurs in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai or Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The timing of the migration varies depending on rainfall patterns, so it’s important to research the best time to visit.
- Decide on the duration of your safari: Depending on your schedule and budget, you can choose to have a safari for a few days or up to a week or more.
- Find a reputable tour operator: Look for a tour operator that specializes in safaris and has experience with the wildebeest migration. We at the Great Wildebeest Migration Safaris are always very happy to help you enjoy Kenya and Tanzania.
- Choose your mode of transportation: You can choose to go on a driving safari, which allows you to get closer to the wildlife, or a flying safari, which gives you a bird’s eye view of the migration. Some tours offer a combination of both.
- Decide on your accommodations: You can choose to stay in a tented camp or a lodge. Tent camps offer a more authentic safari experience while lodges offer more luxurious accommodations.
- Get the necessary vaccinations and visas: Make sure to check the vaccination requirements and visa requirements for the country you are visiting.
- Pack appropriately: Bring lightweight, comfortable clothing, and good walking shoes. Don’t forget your camera, binoculars, and any other necessary equipment.
- Learn about the wildlife and culture: Research the wildlife you are likely to encounter and learn about the local culture and customs.
