This safari lets you witness the Great Wildebeest Migration. Over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems in search of green pastures and safe calving ground. The pattern of movement is highly weather dependent and dynamic, yet with advance planning and a little bit of luck, you can witness this natural wildlife wonder. This safari covers other national parks too, where you can witness the resident game. What are you waiting for?
