The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular natural events on earth — 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra and 500,000 gazelle moving in a continuous circuit through Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara in pursuit of grass and water. The river crossings in July and August, where the herds plunge into crocodile-filled waters in their thousands, are among the most dramatic wildlife spectacles a human being can witness.
1.5 million wildebeest crossing the Mara River — one of nature's greatest spectacles. July and August are peak crossing months. Kilimanjaro Airport is the gateway. Book safari lodges 12+ months ahead.
