Back to Top |
|
| Animal Migration means periodic change of animal movement from one place to another, and in East Africa its referred to Serengeti and Mara parks. In late May / early June migration (mainly wildebeests and zebras) begin their annual migration from north of Serengeti to the Mara crossing the Mara river, reaching Masai Mara park sometime in mid July /early August depending on rain endings. After the short rains in the month of November, the herds move back into Serengeti and make their way to the southern pastures where they rest and feed through the rains until their search for better grazing leads them to begin their annual migration once again. |
