Serengeti Wildebeest Migration

The Great Migration

An Extraordinary Journey

The Serengeti Migration, also known as the Great Wildebeest Migration, is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, move across the endless plains of Serengeti National Park in search of fresh grass and water.
This extraordinary journey creates one of the most thrilling safari experiences in Tanzania and attracts nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers from all over the world.
