Wildebeest Migration & Predators

Experience the Thrill of the Wildebeest Migration and its Majestic Predators with Safari Multiways

Tanzania, a country known for its rich culture, pristine beaches, and towering mountains, also plays host to one of the most breathtaking natural phenomena on Earth – the Great Wildebeest Migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, traverse the vast plains of the Serengeti in a cycle of life and survival that is as old as time itself. At Safari Multiways, we specialize in transforming this spectacle into an unforgettable adventure, tailored just for you!

The Great Migration: Nature’s Grand Spectacle

Imagine over two million hooves thundering across the open plains and rivers, in a frenzied quest for fresh grazing grounds. This is the essence of the Great Wildebeest Migration, a year-round event marked by life, death, and survival against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes.

The migration follows a predictable annual pattern, dictated by the rains and the growth of new grass. As the seasons change, the herds move from the southern part of the Serengeti in Tanzania to the lush plains of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, and back again, covering over 1,200 miles. This journey is fraught with peril as the wildebeest cross crocodile-infested waters and fend off attacks from some of Africa’s most skilled predators.

Predators: The Watchful Eyes of the Wilderness

The migration is not just about the wildebeest and their travel companions. It’s also about the circle of life, which brings us to the predators – lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas, among others – that the migration supports. These formidable predators are drawn to the moving feast, and witnessing their hunting strategies and dynamics is as thrilling as watching the migration itself.

Lions often work in teams to outsmart and hunt their prey, while the solitary leopard opts for stealth, using the dense foliage to ambush unsuspecting wildebeest. Cheetahs, with their incredible bursts of speed, hunt in the daylight, creating a spectacular display of agility and power. Meanwhile, hyenas often scavenge on leftover kills but are also skilled hunters in their own right.
