Integrated Annual Report for the Year Ended 28 February 2017 the Great Wildebeest Migration – Kenya and Tanzania Integrated annual report for the year ended 28 February 2017 The Great Wildebeest Migration – Kenya and Tanzania Over one million wildebeest and several hundred thousand zebra, gazelle and other large mammal species make the world-renowned Serengeti-Mara ecosystem their home. Each year – in the world’s largest remaining mammal migration – the wildebeest move through this ecosystem in a clockwise direction. Their precise movements are influenced by rainfall and grazing but have distinct seasonal associations that revolve around rainy season calving grounds and dry season water availability. In Kenya’s Masai-Mara, the peak time to experience this concentration is from August through to October when the herds congregate along the Mara River and dramatic crossings of thousands of animals can be witnessed in the area around Governors’ Camp. Masai Mara 1 KENYA Ikona Loliondo Grumeti Ikorongo Serengeti TANZANIA 5 National Park 2 4 Ngorongoro 3 Maswa Game Reserve Makao Migration movements 1 August to October: at the peak of the dry season, the herds mass on the grasslands adjacent to the Mara and Sand Rivers with dramatic river crossings frequently observed. 2 November: dependent on rainfall and localised grazing, the herds move south into the central Serengeti en route to their calving grounds. 3 December to March: during the long rains, the wildebeest herds calve on the short grass plains in the south of their range centred on Ndutu (90% of births occur in February). 4 April to May: dependent on rainfall and localised grazing, the herds move north into the central Serengeti along the Mbalageti River. 5 June to July: before moving north towards Kenya, the wildebeest herds concentrate along the Grumeti River in the western corridor and adjacent areas.

  • Wilderness Safaris Apart
    Our journeys change lives Our journeys change lives Below: A mobile safari in the early days, circa 1985 Above: Staff at Kalahari Plains singing to guests 2 3 The story of Wilderness It was in Botswana that we first fell in love with the wilderness. In 1983, two experienced safari guides, Colin Bell and Chris MacIntyre, who had been working in the remote reaches of Botswana, decided to strike out on their own. They wanted to somehow guarantee that the financial benefits of their safaris flowed to the country and its people, ensuring the sustainable protection of the country’s wildlife areas. In retrospect this approach was logical and today forms the cornerstone and central tenet of ecotourism the world over, but in the early 1980s it was a groundbreaking philosophy and set Wilderness Safaris apart. What also set us apart was our fervent desire to offer authentic safaris that catered for people as passionate about nature as we were. So, registering Wilderness Safaris as a Botswana company with a logo representing the African skimmer (a bird restricted to pristine ecosystems), we based ourselves in Maun, south of the Okavango Delta, and started running mobile safaris. By 1985, we had begun to establish tented camps on exclusive sites in the Okavango Delta. Then, in 1990, we were offered an opportunity to run an unknown camp called Mombo on Chief’s Island. It was in an area that had been heavily hunted, but within a few years of photographic safaris, Mombo had rapidly developed an enviable international reputation. This was achieved mostly through exceptional viewing of large predator species in a spectacular landscape into which plains game streamed once it was clear that hunting was no longer practiced there.
