THE GREAT MIGRATION
Witness the world's largest wildlife spectacle across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest overland wildlife movement on Earth, involving more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traveling in a circular journey across Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara. This endless cycle of life and survival is recognized as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, drawing travelers from around the globe.
It is a spectacle of drama and beauty: predators shadow the herds, river crossings test their strength against crocodile‑infested waters, and the calving season brings thousands of newborns to the plains. Every stage of the migration offers unforgettable moments that define the true spirit of safari.
