The Great Migration is a unique spectacle where almost 2 million wildebeest, 800,000 zebra and gazelle form a super herd and travel in a clockwise route from Kenya's Maasai Mara through to Tanzania's Serengeti in search of grazing and water. Between August and October, it's even possible to experience the Great Migration by a hot air balloon flight. Get in touch with our Travel Experts to find out more.
Following a year-round, circular path, the migration is an endlessly active phenomenon that cannot be predicted with complete certainty. As the animals move in constant search of food and water, the timing of their journey is entirely dependent on ever-changing weather patterns, such as rainfall, and other environmental factors.

The Great Migration can be seen in Kenya's Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti.
