Mara Migration 2020
Mara Migration:
Every year around July – August, large herds of Wildebeests up to 2 milliom animals travelling together arrive into Kenya from neighboring Tanzania. One of the most requested events in the migration is the arrival crossing of the Mara River. This is a crossing that is in itself a spectacle as the animals are in constant danger of being attacked by crocodiles that have been lying in wait for months. The arrival of these great herds signal a feeding frenzy for the Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, hyenas and other Carnivores of the Mara making it a great time to see the majority of these animals.
The Migration spectacle is one you Must witness and is listed as ONE of the wonders of the modern world. The beauty of the spectacle is in its unpredictable nature. The animals arrive at the banks of the river and no one knows when they will cross over, it may be hours, or days. The tension from the wildebeests, accompanying herders, waiting crocodiles and other predators is pulpable. Then without warning, one takes a plunge, a leap of faith even and before you know it, a melee is happening!
The migration is not a singular, isolated event. Instead, the phrase describes the constant movement of over 1.5 million wildebeests and hundreds of thousands of zebras, as well as elands and gazelles. As with other wildlife, the purpose of the movement is the search for pasture and water. When supplies of these vital resources are depleted in one area, the animals move to another area where water, grasses and other food sources are plentiful.
