The Great Wildebeest Migration, often called Africa’s Race of Life, is the largest and most dramatic wildlife movement on Earth. Each year, over two million wildebeest, accompanied by vast herds of zebras and Thomson’s gazelles, traverse a timeless migratory circuit between Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve in search of fresh grazing. Beginning in the nutrient-rich plains of the south-eastern Serengeti, the herds move through sweeping grasslands and open woodlands before pushing north into the Maasai Mara, braving predators, drought, floods, and perilous crocodile-filled river crossings. As seasons change, they turn south once more, completing an eternal cycle that has defined East Africa’s wilderness for millennia—an awe-inspiring natural spectacle unlike anything else on the planet.
