Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, joined by 300,000 zebras, 500,000 Thomson's gazelles, and 18,000 elands, journey across the vast plains of Kenya and Tanzania in search of greener pastures.
This is The Great Migration — an untamed, awe-inspiring cycle of life and survival that has unfolded for centuries. No fences. No feeding. Just nature at its rawest and most spectacular.
🐾 What Makes It So Special?
🌱 A journey dictated by rainfall and seasons, not man.
🦁 With the herds come the predators — lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas — waiting to strike.
🐊 Rivers become battlegrounds, especially at the Grumeti and Mara Rivers, where crocodiles lie in wait during dramatic crossings.
📸 Why You Should See It in Person:
Photos and documentaries can’t capture the intensity of thousands of wildebeest thundering across the savannah, the tension at riverbanks, or the miracle of calves being born on the open plains. This is something you must feel, hear, and witness firsthand.
When to Go – Migration Highlights by Season:
