Overview

This astonishing annual Great Migration of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores across the Serengeti is one of the most amazing sights in nature, which takes place seasonally in Tanzania and Kenya, clearly demonstrating the rhythms of life in Africa.  First the rain turns the grass luscious and green attracting the wildebeest, which in turn attract the predators in the form of lions and crocodiles, who feed on the wildebeest as they cross the savannah and rivers following the path of the ripening grass. This non-stop parade of animals consists of over one million wildebeest, approximately 250,000 Zebras and countless Thompson’s Gazelles.
