Zebra and Wildebeest Migration

Witness and discover the beauty of one of the most spectacular migrations in the world

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park , Botswana

Safaris are one of Botswana’s most popular attractions. Still, the wildebeest and zebra migration here remains one of the best-kept secrets in Africa. During summer, seen every year from Camp Kalahari, animals make the most of the water and grasses around the Chobe. When the land dries out in late November, and the rains begin to fall in Nxai Pan, the zebra begin to migrate 250km south towards grasses rich in nutrients. In the second migration, animals are also heading toward the grasses. However, the zebras are now accompanied by wildebeest and are moving east from the Boteti River, flowing south of the Okavango Delta.

One should do this:

because it is one of the most unique and fascinating experiences on the planet. This incredible migration of animals is also the last remaining one in Southern Africa.
