The Great Migration is one of nature's most spectacular events - over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle moving across the Serengeti ecosystem.
The migration is a year-round circular journey. Here's the approximate timing:
Wildebeest calving season. Best for predator action (cheetahs, lions, hyenas). Thousands of babies born daily.
The herds move west and north. Good for game viewing as they cross the Grumeti River.
River crossings begin. Dramatic scenes as crocodiles await. Best for action photography.
The herds cross into Kenya's Maasai Mara. Excellent predator action.
The migration starts returning south, completing the circle.
