Tanzania by Wildlife Trails

Tanzania is a world famous destination for big cat safaris in Africa and is one of the only two countries in North East Africa where you can follow the awe inspiring Wildebeest migration. The Great Migration of Wildebeest and Thompson's Gazelle is one of the largest mass movements of wildlife on our planet. These huge herds, measuring in their thousands, migrate naturally through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem which cross the border between Tanzania and Kenya. Depending on the wildlife and photography experience you are looking for, you can 'intercept' this migration at different times of the year in both Tanzania and Kenya and witness one of natures finest wildlife spectacles. Many visitors come from August to September to witness the migration of the Wildebeest across the northern plains towards the Mara River, but possibly the best time to visit Tanzania for wildlife is late January/early February
