A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life; a frenzied three week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40 km long columns plunge through crocodile infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1000 km pilgrimage begins again.
Other Highlights!
-The Grassland savannah plains, predators (lions, leopards, cheetahs, etc.), big ostrich population, migratory birds, and so much more
The best time to visit is December to July to follow the wildebeest migration and June to October to see predators.
