Wildebeest Migration & Other Wildlife

Experience the Spectacular Wildebeest Migration and Tanzania’s Breathtaking Wildlife with Safari Multiways

Tanzania, a land of stark beauty and vibrant life, is home to one of nature’s most stunning events: the Great Wildebeest Migration. Millions of travelers are magnetized each year to this East African gem, not only to witness the epic journey of over a million wildebeest but also to explore the rich tapestry of wildlife that adorns its landscapes. At Safari Multiways, we specialize in transforming ordinary trips into extraordinary adventures. Join us as we delve into the wild heart of Tanzania, promising you not just a safari, but an unforgettable journey of discovery.

The Great Wildebeest Migration: A Marvel of Nature

Often described as the “Greatest Show on Earth,” the Wildebeest Migration is a monumental movement of animals that occurs annually across the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. This migration involves an immense number of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, driven by ancient instincts to search for fresh grazing and water.

The journey is fraught with peril. Picture this: throngs of wildebeest, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, congregate at the banks of the crocodile-infested Mara River. In a spectacle of raw nature, they plunge into the waters, some falling prey to lurking predators while others battle strong currents. The air is tense with anticipation and survival, a gripping chapter of their odyssey that offers dramatic sightings for onlookers.

From July to October, the dry season beckons the herds to the northern Serengeti and Maasai Mara, making this period ideal for witnessing river crossings. Safari Multiways offers tailored safaris during these months, ensuring you a front-row seat to these breathtaking events. Our experienced guides, well-versed in the migration patterns, enrich your experience with insightful commentary, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of this natural wonder.

Beyond the Migration: Tanzania’s Wildlife Cornucopia

While the wildebeest migration is a headline act, Tanzania’s wildlife saga encompasses far more. The country’s game reserves and national parks are vibrant ecosystems brimming with some of the most iconic African wildlife, including the Big Five: elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes.

Serengeti National Park:
Beyond the migration, the Serengeti offers unparalleled year-round wildlife viewing. Its vast plains are home to cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and a large assortment of antelope. The interaction between predator and prey provides constant drama and endless opportunities for captivating wildlife photography.

Ngorongoro Crater:
Often referred to as ‘Africa’s Eden’ and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and offers a unique backdrop for a safari. Its lush landscapes and diverse habitats harbor over 25,000 large mammals, including the endangered black rhino, elephants, lions, and the elusive leopard.

Tarangire National Park:
Best known for its elephant herds and baobab trees, Tarangire is a haven for up to 300 elephants, migratory wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests and elands. It’s the predator sightings, however, that are truly spectacular, with frequent sightings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Selous Game Reserve:
Explore one of the largest faunal reserves of the world, a place so special that it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, boat safaris on the Rufiji River offer a different perspective on the wildlife, including crocodiles and hippos, and the walking safaris provide an exhilarating encounter with nature.
