An Intriguing Great Migration Experience in Africa
One of the attractions of African safaris is the Great Migration. This is an annual happening at certain African safaris such as Tanzania and Kenya where thousands of wildlife would migrate from one spot to another for greener pastures. Hence, it is an exciting event not to be missed if one were to visit an African safari. The timing of the visit to Africa must be precise to witness the great migration of animals.
Annual event
The great migration is a herd instinct event where thousands of animals such as wildebeest, zebra and buffalo move from the Serengeti National Park to Masai Mara. They could be crossing boundaries in Africa between Tanzania and Kenya but they need no passport or any human authority’s approval.
The great migration normally happens in the summer where the climate is hotter and the wildlife seeks to find greener pastures or more waterholes for their survival. Some may migrate to breed while others may be expanding their territory.
Experience
There are many safari itineraries which include the great migration event although it is impossible to guarantee a good sighting as there is no foreknowledge of when and where the animals would commence their migration although experienced and alert safari tour guides might be able to identify some precise moments. Tourists would be taken to the safari spots to witness the event from a safe distance in hardy 4x4 cruisers as the massive number of migrating beasts may be quite overwhelming.
A slight wrong move by humans may trigger off a stampede in the wrong direction which may be dangerous to tourists. Hence, the great migration experience must be well coordinated by experienced and trained tour operators to ensure the complete safety of their tour guests.
Accommodation
Great accommodation is designed for the tourists’ comfort as they are brought to various safari reserves to view the wildlife of the land. Going on a game drive can be quite tiring for most first time tourists as there is a lot of traveling in four wheel vehicles. The terrains can be demanding although the tourists are in air-conditioned vehicles.
Hence, a relaxing stay to recuperate after the game drive is desirable. The designated accommodation would have amenities and facilities that would facilitate the tourists’ comfort. A good rest for the night is vital to renew their strength for other game drives at the next day. Some tourists stay for several nights at the same safari reserves which are known for the great migration to catch a glimpse of it.
