7 Days Great Wildebeest
Migration Safari

Overview

The Serengeti wildebeest migration is one of the most extraordinary wildlife events, where massive herds of wildebeest, along with zebras and other wildlife, move in a predictable annual cycle. Beginning in the southern Serengeti, the migration travels north towards the Masai Mara in Kenya, driven by the search for fresh grazing.

This natural spectacle is the second-largest mammal migration on Earth and a key highlight of Tanzania’s Serengeti, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
