Great Annual Wildebeest Migration 2012

Depth of Africa Safaris is your Kenya, Tanzania safari outfitter, specializing in the great annual wildebeest migration safaris taking place all year round in Masai Mara, Kenya and Serengeti, Tanzania each with its own seasons. This is the time for the Masai Mara, Kenya Migration 2012 poised for Mid July to October with Mara River crossings likely to extend to Mid September 2012.

Wildbeest Migration Tours, are exciting, not just by the sheer volume of the migration animals concentrated in specific areas and their ever-present predators, but because they are a development of a natural phenomenon that takes place annually in Kenya and Tanzania. Surprising though, we offer one of the most competive rates in the industry!

8th Wonder of the World? Yes, surely it is. The natural instinctive movement of the sheer herds across the diverse landscapes and dangers in Kenya and Tanzania, may not be, after all, just as a result of rains as argued by recent research. No one exactly knows how these amazing animals look at the clouds, the winds and listen to the chimes of the everlasting clock to simply get their hooves marking the next mile. The river crossings as so dramatic, that all we do is to watch with mixed thoughts and feelings, seeing the crocos waiting for the kill and the beests thrashing and splashing the river waters into a deathly spray...and the relief on the faces of these animals as they emerge from the waters unharmed...only to the next danger of the carnivores who think Christmas has come and beef is in plenty.

Depth of Africa Safaris is focused on an unwavering committment to holiday makers, photographers and film makers, memorable family holidays to Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro (homes for the migration).
