Annual Migration of the Wildebeest

It's a sight to behold, the sheer number of animals moving together as far as your eye can see, across the plains of Serengeti. The annual migration this time of year is in the Mara Region in Northern Serengeti and across the border into Kenya in Masai Mara. The animals at the centre of this migration are the wildebeest, 1.5 million of them, who are heading this way in search of fresh grass. Together with the Zebra, they become prey of the predators like the crocodiles who lie in wait for them to cross the Grumeti River and Mara River. The other predators like the lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena will also have a feast of their own.

Rickshaw Client Review

Hi Aparna,

Thank you for arranging a once-in-a-lifetime memorable trip to see the gorillas in Rwanda. It was fantastic and we had a fabulous time. The entire trip from beginning to end was well organized. Our guide Abu is a gem...he knew everything and he is a great driver. We all loved him. All hotels were excellent in terms of accommodations. The only minor issue is with the food at the Gorilla Lodge. The food was mediocre at best, but the accommodations were excellent. Service throughout the trip was excellent. We cannot thank you enough. We look forward to sending our other friends to Rwanda :)

Best regards, Vamsi
