The Great Wildebeest Migration
One of the world’s most remarkable wildlife movements takes place across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. Huge herds travel in search of fresh grazing and water, accompanied by predators and countless other species.
The migration is a continuous natural cycle, not a single event. Calving is generally associated with the southern plains early in the year, while dramatic northern river crossings are more likely during parts of the dry season. Timing and exact locations vary with rainfall.
