Getting The Most Out Of Africa’s Great Wildebeest Migration Through Tanzania Camping Safari

Can you just imagine a migration where millions and millions of mammals such as wildebeests & zebras brave precarious risks & hazards like crocodiles, lions, leopards and drowning in order to go for grassy land and water-based resources such as rivers and lakes? Yes, the raw beauty & the scale of annual wildlife sight top the wish list of numerous wildlife travellers and safari goers. Many enthusiasts term this year-round natural activity as Great Migration. Visitors, who are taking Tanzania Camping Safari, have a great chance of watching this magnificent activity taking place with their own eyes. Actually, the big herds are generally in Tanzania from November to June & by July to October or early November, they will cross over to Kenya. Thus, these gigantic groups of animals migrate from one place to another by monitoring the change in weather patterns. Amazing! Isn’t it?

Now, let’s have a look at all those unfolding events that take place during the migration procedure are as follows:-

► Baby Pictures

This is one of the first things to watch before the start of the great migration or some can also say that it is the starting phase of Serengeti Wildebeest Migration.
It will be a stage when backpackers will get lots of chances to take baby pictures of the wildebeest calves. That’s correct females of the wildebeest clan give birth to whopping 250,000 calves within just a few weeks or the starting months of the year.
Moreover, during the green season of the Serengeti’s short grass plains permits the gripping game viewing & wonderful photographic opportunities. The newborn babies of these wild creatures of Serengeti provide great entertainment for all the holidaymakers.

► A River Runs Through It

The midsummer to late fall season is some of the most excellent times to witness the intense drama of river crossings in both Tanzania & Kenya. Believe it or not, this part of the season is really action packed for Tanzania Camping Safari.
The gigantic group of wildebeests & Zebras take a huge amount of risk crossing the Grumeti & Mara Rivers that are filled with opportunistic crocodiles that are more than ready to pounce on the weaklings of the wildebeest herds for having a good lunch or dinner.
During this crossing & the migration period, these wildebeest are also a great source of food for lion, cheetah and hyena.

► Glamping

While selecting the Tanzania Tours And Safaris, it is recommended to have small tented camps for their high quality & suitable access to migration viewing.
There are several camps that range from basic to ultra-luxurious. Thus, you have to ask & work with your tour operator to select the camp that is right for your trip.
Moreover, camping in the jungle really doesn’t mean that you have to rough it. If you are paying good money, then you deserve a lot to stay in a camp of your choice.

► Patience Is A Virtue

As our elders used to say that patience is the key to success or sweet results, you can use this same phrase here while waiting or sitting under a tree along the riverbank all day long to witness a river crossing.
Furthermore, it will be better for you to wait in a private vehicle by paying extra and have a peaceful approach.
Thus, make sure to have an expert guide who can precisely figure out the location and rivers that are most suitable for the migration movements & the best chances to catch an exciting action.
