Jaws Africa

The Great Migration in the Masai Mara is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world. Every year, over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles embark on a journey from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya in search of greener pastures. This incredible spectacle of nature can be experienced on a migration safari with Jaws Africa.

The migration typically begins in late May or early June, when the wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles start their journey from the southern plains of the Serengeti. They make their way north, crossing the Mara River in search of fresh grass and water. The Mara River is a major obstacle for the migrating animals, as it is home to crocodiles and other predators. The crossing of the river is a dangerous and dramatic event that is a highlight of the migration safari.

Once the animals have crossed the river, they enter the Masai Mara, where they spend the next several months grazing on the lush grasses of the savannah. The Masai Mara is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and many other species. A migration safari with Jaws Africa offers the opportunity to see all of these animals in their natural habitat and witness the interactions between them.

Jaws Africa offers a variety of safari options to suit different budgets and preferences. From luxury tented camps to budget-friendly options, there is something for everyone. Guests can choose to stay in a traditional safari camp, where they can experience the authentic atmosphere of the African wilderness, or in a more modern and comfortable lodge. All of the accommodations are strategically located to provide easy access to the migration routes, allowing guests to see the animals up close.

One of the best ways to experience the migration is on a hot air balloon safari. Jaws Africa offers hot air balloon safaris that take off at dawn, allowing guests to see the animals as they graze on the savannah below. The hot air balloon safari provides a unique perspective on the migration and the vastness of the Masai Mara.

Another popular option is a guided game drive safari in a 4×4 landcruiser. Jaws Africa’s experienced guides will take guests on a journey through the savannah, providing an in-depth understanding of the migration and the wildlife. The guides have a wealth of knowledge about the animals, their behavior and the ecosystem, and will share this with guests as they explore the Mara.

In addition to the wildlife and the migration, Jaws Africa’s safari also includes cultural experiences, such as visiting a local Maasai village. The Maasai are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people who have lived in the region for centuries. They have a deep understanding of the land and its wildlife, and their way of life is closely tied to the migration. Visiting a Maasai village is a great way to learn more about the culture and the people of the region.

In conclusion, a migration safari with Jaws Africa is an experience of a lifetime. The Great Migration in the Masai Mara is a natural wonder that should be seen at least once in a lifetime. Jaws Africa offers a variety of safari options to suit different budgets.
