Witness the Great Migration
In the Great Migration up to two million ungulates undertake a journey of roughly 1,600 kilometres. The majority of animals are wildebeest, although they are accompanied by zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, impala and eland.
The wildebeest start to herd together in the Serengeti in May, forming broad lines and working their way north to the Mara, which they reach in July. Here they cross the Mara, Sand and Talek Rivers at exactly the same places each year.
This brings them into Kenya, where they scatter over the hills and plains. Whilst here they are highly vulnerable to predators so as soon as they smell the October rains the herds reform and start the slow march south.
