 The Great Migration is one of the most extraordinary wildlife events on Earth. Every year, more than two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move across the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania and Maasai mara in Kenya

This incredible journey is driven by seasonal rains and the search for fresh grazing land. Along the way, the animals face numerous challenges, including river crossings, predators and changing weather conditions. 

For many travelers, witnessing the Great Migration is the ultimate African safari experience
