The Great Wildebeest Migration
“The Great Migration.”
One of the most sought-after events for wildlife and nature enthusiasts is the Great Migration, a cyclical migration of nearly a million animals through the Serengeti-Mara habitat. Wildebeest and their many traveling companions continue their methodical trek along a well-worn road in search of grazing land and fresh water.
The herds leave the southern Serengeti, close to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and travel clockwise through the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in Kenya, where they give birth to their young, before returning to the southern Serengeti in the autumn.
Description
One of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts, the Great Migration is the ever-moving circular migration of over a million animals across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The constant movement of columns of wildebeest, joined by a host of companions, follow an age-old route in search of grazing and water.
After calving in the southern part of Tanzania’s Serengeti near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the animals journey through the Serengeti up and around in a clockwise direction towards the Masai Mara in Kenya, before returning once again near the end of the year.
