Wildebeest migration is always an adventure for people who visit East Africa, especially Kenya. The tourists can have a wonderful time by viewing all kinds of natural wildlife surviving on the Earth. The Masai Mara reserve and Serengeti National Park are two main places ideal for wildebeest migration in Kenya. In these reserves, the animals are allowed to roam freely and the migration will take place by the animals each and every year in order to search good water and green grass lands. Some of the animals that you can see in these parks are big elephants, leopards, lions, rhinos, antelopes, zebras, wild buffalos, gazelles etc.

Animals do migrate from one place to another especially during breeding time. Most of the wildebeest migration give birth in the months from December to March and so this time is considered to be perfect for visiting the place. It is sad that many animals die while moving or become prey to big ones. But, you be ready to capture the prey being caught and eaten by the wild predators. The mentioned period is the ideal time to have such wonderful photography. While migration, the animals can easily find long and ripened green grass as food to sustain in the area.

Animals travel in shallow area to escape from drowning:
The major challenge for the animals is to cross the Mara River located between the border of Kenya and Tanzania. The beasts have no other option of crossing the river, as they need to avoid starvation and live for rest of the days. Sometimes, the crocodiles in the river will be looking for the animals that cross the river and will always be in a position to attack. The animals will try shallow area to cross the river and reach the plains. Few will drown in the river without knowing the depth in some areas.
