TANZANIA - THE WILD SIDE GREAT MIGRATION
The Great Migration is an enormous and continuous roughly circular migration across the plains and woodlands of Tanzania and Kenya by two million wildebeests, zebras and antelopes. These animals move across the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. As water and food dictate the migration, the route is not set in stone but what is certain is that great dramas will play out all along the route.

Dispersed across these plains, wildebeest, and zebra are everywhere – feeding on the fresh, nutritious grasses.
Some of the migrants then head due to north of Seronera, but most are usually further west. Around June the wildebeest migration is often halted on the south side of the Grumeti River, which has some channels that block or slow their migration north. The wildebeest then congregate there, in the Western Corridor….
