Kenya and Tanzania are among the most talked about countries with best wildlife safaris in Africa most especially recognized for their annual great migration of Wildebeest and other species which migrate from Tanzania in high numbers to access Kenya in search of virgin pastures.
This great migration in Tanzania and Kenya happens each and every calendar year in months of July to October where over 1.5 Wildebeests and thousands of Zebras, Thomson’s gazelles, Elands and Topi move from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya of which both parks lie on the borders of Tanzania and Kenya and are strongly attached together thus allowing animals to move from one Park to another without any difficulty.
