Bombay, Nairobi, Masai Mara, Amboseli – Kilimanjaro, Kenya – Tanzania, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro

Experience the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and magnificent views of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts.

Massive animal migrations are among nature's most inspiring events. Whether by wing, fin, or hoof, the distance some creatures travel in search of new habitat is paralleled only by what they endure. Migration of marine mammals like sea Turtle to Pacific countries, Whales from Antarctica to African countries, Salmon fish migration in Canada, Great Migration of wildebeests from Tanzania to Kenya, Tiny arctic bird Tern from New Zealand and China, and epic journey of the monarch butterflies from the United States and Canada to Mexico are common. Migrations also play a vital role in our natural ecosystems—they are the veins and arteries of Mother Earth—and they are a reminder that all of the world's habitats are interconnected. Here in this tour, We, Benny’s Royal Tours introduce to you the planet's greatest migration of Animals -The Great Wildebeest Migration, one of The Seven Natural Wonders of The World.

Every year, millions of zebra, wildebeest, and other antelope migrate across the mighty plains of Serengeti, Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya. From July to September 2 million animal population should cross the Mara River in Kenya in search of grass and water. This is a must-see event during the Migration. They will reach this place by traveling 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometres) of land from Serengeti in Tanzania. Later they will move to the Ngorongoro National Park in Tanzania. In this tour, we will give you a chance to witness the river crossing, the Largest Terrestrial Mammal Migration on Earth (subject to luck), Serengeti, Masai Mara, Ngorongoro, Amboseli National Parks, and the magnificent views of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro in a single tour. This is one of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts and that tops the bucket list of many travellers.

Tour FAQ

What is the best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa?

  • The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is during its dry seasons, which are from late June to October and from late December to mid-March. These periods offer the clearest skies and the least precipitation, making them ideal for hikers seeking the summit's breathtaking views.

How can one witness the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara?

  • To witness the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara, plan your visit between July and October. This is when the largest numbers of wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, make their dramatic crossing of the Mara River, offering a spectacular display of wildlife in motion.

What wildlife can you expect to see in the Masai Mara National Reserve?

  • The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros). Other commonly sighted animals include cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and a variety of antelope species, making it a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
  • For first-time climbers, the Marangu and Machame routes are highly recommended. The Marangu route, known as the "Coca-Cola" route, is the easiest and most straightforward, while the Machame route, known as the "Whiskey" route, is slightly more challenging but offers more scenic views and a higher success rate.

What conservation efforts are in place to protect the ecosystems of the Masai Mara and Kilimanjaro?

  • Conservation efforts in the Masai Mara include partnerships between conservationists and local Maasai communities to manage and protect the wildlife and their habitat effectively. For Kilimanjaro, initiatives such as reforestation and strict regulation of trekking practices help maintain the mountain's ecological health. Both regions emphasize sustainable tourism practices to ensure that they remain vibrant and intact for future generations.
