THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH: THE GREAT MIGRATION
-
WHERE DOES IT HAPPEN? TANZANIA & KENYA -SAME ECOSYSTEM
From the Serengeti in Tanzania, to the Masai Mara in Kenya, the Great Wildebeest Migration attracts thousands of nature enthusiasts, filmmakers and photographers who come from around the world to witness one of Africa’s most dazzling cycles of life.
No wildlife event on the planet rivals Africa’s Great Migration for sheer drama. Each year the huge herds make a great circuit across the Serengeti Plains, following the grass that sprouts with the seasonal rains. To witness the migration is on many a wildlife lover’s bucket list. But it’s crucial to choose the right way to experience this phenomenon – because all Great Migration safaris are not the same!
