What is Interesting about the 5 days Wildebeest Migration in Masai mara Safari Tours 2013
5 days Masai Mara wildebeest migration Safari is a great way to see the Masai mara animal stampede as it combines 3 days and 2 nights in Masai mara with a 1 day stay in Lake Nakuru national park to see the flamingos and other animals. The tour may also include a detour to Lake Naivasha just to complete the rift valley lake circuit where you can take a boat ride to the lake and see hippos close by and the many birds.
Masai Mara Wildebeest Stampede Safari Tours 2013 has reached its climax with the mara river crossing where more than 2000 animals lost their lives doing the crossing. Picture this, more than 100,000 wildebeests are dangerously crowding by the banks of mara river. The front runners bleat in trepidation as they walk about the banks looking for a suitable crossing point. They seem not in a hurry to make up their mind. The wildebeests are gravely aware of the dangers that this crossing has presented to them every year they make a cross.
The older ones have counted times they have been lucky enough to get to the opposite bank. These animals know that the current is very strong from the rains up north and in the water are 16ft Nile crocodiles with jaws that snap shut in milliseconds. The front line animals dig in their feet as the numbers continue to swell from behind creating unimaginable pressure from thousands of kilos of scared-stiff gnu. Still none is ready to be the first in the water.
Then it happens. In a sudden fit of madness, a single wildebeest makes the leap of faith and what follows is an unimaginable stampede of the herd into the water. Some will jump as high as 10 feet to come crushing into the water or on the backs of others already in the river. Its such a Wildebeest migration melee that the splashing sound of the water sounds like tens of waterfalls. On the opposite end lies a welcoming committee made up of the big cats of Masai mara including the lion, cheetahs and leopards. It’s tough being a wildebeest.
At the end of the wildebeest mara river stampede, over 2000 individuals will have drowned, others taken by crocodiles and others broken limbs or eaten by the carnivores. That’s just a small number considering that the wildebeests replenish their stock in the February breeding season in Ngorongoro where over 400,000 new calves are born.
Such is the magnitude of the Masai mara wildebeest migration that you will be awed by the sheer numbers and the varying tempos from slow drifting herds to sudden rush of maddening speeds across the plains.
