Greetings from East Africa!
In this month's newsletter, we are going to talk about one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth, the Great Wildebeest Migration. A year-round phenomenon, this continuously moving migration of over 1.5 million animals across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in Kenya and Tanzania undoubtedly ranks as an unforgettable spectacle for wildlife and nature enthusiasts worldwide.
As outlined in our previous newsletter, where we compared East Africa versus Southern Africa as the ideal safari destination, one of the differentiators that makes Kenya and Tanzania unique is its Great Wildebeest Migration. Although there are other smaller migrations in Africa, such as the humpback and southern right whales in South Africa, zebras in Botswana's Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan National Parks, and blue wildebeest in Zambia's remote and wild Liuwa Plain National Park, it is fair to state that the rest of the African continent does not have a wildlife spectacle to rival that of the Great Wildebeest Migration in East Africa.
The best part of the Great Wildebeest Migration is that it happens all year round, and although its exact timings have become more difficult to predict due to the region's unpredictable weather patterns, Travulous' expert team will advise on the best camps and lodges to provide you with the ultimate Great Migration adventure, packed full of exciting wildlife sightings and spectacular river crossings. We are not affiliated with any accommodation brands, therefore, we will always provide our guests with impartial advice that is best suited to your particular travel needs.
In this newsletter, we have included as much information about the Great Wildebeest Migration as possible, including; when to travel, our Great Migration itineraries, and a selection of some of our favourite accommodations and activities in the Maasai Mara and Serengeti. The team at Travulous are here to help you decide - get in touch to find out more.
Lastly, there is also a company video of our office teams in Rwanda and Uganda, in addition to the announcement of our second company award of 2024.
