The quintessential African safari experience and one of nature’s greatest spectacle, the Great Migration is a sight to behold. It is the astounding, never-ending natural trek of hungry herbivores across the limitless plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve and Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park that continues to leave travellers in awe. In this year-round cycle across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, over 1.5 million wildebeest, 500,000 zebra, 200,000 Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle and 17,000 eland throng the landscape, following the rain, in search of fresh pastures.
Truly considered as one of the most thrilling sights in the animal kingdom, the annual wildebeest migration, and other herbivores, with their ever-attendant entourage of predators is a breathtaking, and at times heartbreaking, experience.
The timing of this phenomenon has changed in recent years due to uncertain rainfall patterns, with herds splitting and moving in different directions, before reassembling again, which can make it challenging to predict exactly when and where is the best place and time to witness the Great Migration.
