The Great Migration
The Great Wildebeest Migration
“Witness Earth’s Greatest Wildlife Show with Lucky Moon Adventure Company”
What Is the Great Migration?
The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular natural events on the planet. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles, and other herbivores, journey across the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara in Kenya and back again in a constant search for fresh grazing lands and water.
This epic cycle follows the rhythm of the seasons, creating a circle of life that draws the attention of predators and photographers alike. Lions, cheetahs, crocodiles, and hyenas follow the herds, making this not just a migration but a dramatic survival story unfolding right before your eyes.
Why It’s a Must-See
- A Natural Wonder of the World
The scale, intensity, and raw beauty of the migration is unmatched. It’s been called “the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth”and for good reason.
- Incredible Predator Action
Where the herds go, the predators follow. You’ll witness the tense moments of predator-prey interactions, from river crossings to ambushes on the plains.
- Iconic River Crossings
The Mara River crossings are legendary. Watch as wildebeest plunge into crocodile-infested waters, a heart-stopping display of instinct and courage.
- Prime Bird Watching
Yes, bird lovers this is your time too! The migration stirs up activity among raptors, scavengers, and wetland birds, creating an unforgettable birding experience.
- Photographer’s Paradise
With golden light, dramatic skies, and thousands of animals in motion, this is the ultimate canvas for wildlife photography.
When to Go
The migration is a year-round event, but different highlights occur depending on the time of year:
- January–March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti (great for predator action)
- April–June: Herds start moving north great for seeing them on the move
- July–October: Dramatic River crossings in Kenya’s Maasai Mara
- November–December: Return to the Serengeti
