The Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa, an annual event that can only be described as a real-life National Geographic documentary. It has been written about, filmed and talked about for decades and is legendary across the world.

The migration is a natural phenomenon, taking place every year over many months across the vast plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. The spectacular journey begins when herds of wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle migrate from their summer grazing grounds to their winter calving grounds, where they form into huge herds known as ‘migrations’—the largest animal migration on earth.

Each year more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle migrate in search of fresh grazing grounds and water. The spectacular Journey takes place over many months across the vast plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya.
