Overview
Witness the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet as over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and countless gazelles thunder across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in an ancient clockwise odyssey driven by rain and instinct. The most heart-stopping chapter unfolds between July and October at the crocodile-infested Mara River, where desperate herds plunge down steep banks in a chaos of splashing hooves and snapping jaws. Standing on the riverbank as this primal drama erupts before your eyes is a humbling, once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the raw power of nature.
The Great Migration is one of "The Seven New Wonders of the World." This annual spectacle involves over 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras moving through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.
The most dramatic phase occurs between July and October, as the herds face the treacherous Mara River crossings, where crocodiles lie in wait. Witnessing this raw struggle for survival is an unforgettable experience that defines the African wilderness.
