One of nature’s greatest spectacles, the great wildebeest migration is one of the most sought after wildlife experiences for travellers all over the globe.
Every year, over one million wildebeest, zebra and antelope move through Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Masai Mara in a continuous cycle of life and death, as they search for better water and grass resources.
During the annual migration, the herds will cross the Mara River, crossing an international border between Kenya and Tanzania. The herds will enter the Masai Mara from the Serengeti side of the Mara River, passing through Nile crocodile-infested waters and avoiding predators such as lion, cheetah and leopard lying in wait.
If you’re planning a Kenya safari, this should be on your list!
