The Migration
The wildebeest arrive at the Mara River around July. Their migration is dictated by weather. The Masai Mara National Reserve and Mara North Conservancy are located west of the Rift Valley. Approximately 1.3 million wildebeests make the journey. They are met on the Masai Mara plains by the wildebeest herds of the Mara region. These animals reside in the northeast of the Mara, the Loita Plains. By October, the rains are heading back south to the Serengeti, and the migration reverses, continuing the cycle of life. Less famous, yet very impressive, is the Loita Hills migration, where thousands of local wildebeest drift in from the east in May and often stay in the Mara North Conservancy throughout the year, heading back to the Loita Hills only when it rains again in March. This makes the Mara North Conservancy an all year destination and not just a seasonal environment.
