Every year, we get to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the memorable wildlife events on
the planet. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and
gazelles, travel from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara in Kenya, following ancient survival
routes in search of fresh grass and water. As they move north into Kenya between July and October, the
wildebeest must cross the treacherous Mara River, where many are taken by waiting crocodiles and
predators like lions and hyenas. These crossings are dramatic, emotional, and unforgettable a true
highlight of any safari experience. The Masai Mara becomes a theater of life and death, and watching this
drama unfold live is something that no documentary can ever truly capture.
Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve is the best place to view this migration up close. With its wide
open plains, stunning wildlife diversity, and highly experienced safari guides, it offers a front-row seat to
the world’s greatest wildlife show. Visitors often spot not just the migrating herds, but also the Big Five
(lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo), making the Mara a dream destination for photographers,
nature lovers, and adventure seekers alike.
