THE GREAT MIGRATION
The Serengeti National Park is one of Africa's great preserved ecosystems, famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson's gazelles move each year in search of pasture. Their migration follows the rains and covers over 3,000 kilometers. Observing this phenomenon in Tanzania also means to follow the rain, with possible showers.
Predators follow this movement, and the natural cycle of life is maintained. The crossing of the Mara River is particularly dangerous for the herds and is often covered by wildlife documentaries. In the plains of Ndutu, during births, the young become easy prey for wild animals.
Observe the migration in the Serengeti, whether during river crossings or births, reminds us of the importance of preserving these natural cycles and protecting this unique ecosystem.

Guide's tip
“The The Great Migration is a unique phenomenon. I especially love bringing you to see it in the Mara region, north of the park. To observe the river crossings, you will need patience. We can sometimes wait for several hours for the first wildebeest to plunge into the water. The trick is not to get too close to the river and to stay well back, only moving forward at the last moment. Once the herd gets going, the spectacle is incredible and well worth the wait. I still get goosebumps after all these years.
