The great annual migration of millions of zebra, wildebeest and antelope in east Africa tops almost every list of safari experiences.
Travellers planning to see it need information like when to arrive and where to stay, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania
The animals’ journey of about 2900km includes spectacular and dangerous river crossings from July to September when the herds battle strong currents and hungry crocodiles lying in wait.
Out on the plains the herds face Africa’s impressive predators which include lions, leopards, hyenas and wild dogs on the prowl.
As a natural event, the precise timing and route of the migration changes yearly.
Sirocco Travel and Cruise can help clients experience the migration with its Kenya-Tanzania combination safari covering the most famous premium game parks and reserves in east Africa.
The safari program offers rare opportunities to interact with ethnic communities and see the “big five” of Africa – lions, cape buffalo, savanna elephants, leopards and rhinos.
The safari ends with chances to observe the “special five” which are only found north of the equator -Grevy’s zebra, beisa oryx antelope, swala twiga gazelle, reticulated giraffe and Somali ostrich.
Also included in the trip are opportunities to experience the majestic Victoria Falls and South Africa’s Cape Town.
Sirocco’s Gerlinde Greig will personally escort the small group on the tour. There are a limited number of space available so book now to avoid disappointment.
