About this experience

The great wildebeest migration in Tanzania is considered one of the greatest shows in the world. Every year millions of wildebeest along with giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly spectacular event. Over two million wildebeest, zebra, and other gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara eco-system in search of water and lush grazing grounds. During this great migration where the millions of gazelles move in search of life a lot lose their life due to the exhaustion, hunger, and a large number got hunted by the predators. The best time to witness this great migration is during the dry season which occurs between July to early October when the large herds move constantly through the National parks of Tanzania.
