What is the Wildebeest Great Migration?
What’s So Special About It?
The great wildebeest migration is distinct because, unlike many people’s belief, the migration happens all year round in a clockwise route, with each time of the year offering breathtaking wildlife experiences.
During the migration, wildebeest and zebra cohabit together because they feed on the same species of vegetation. At the same time, approximately 3000 lions from the Serengeti ecosystem follow the migratory herds as they make their way around the country.
The most scenic view of the great migration is probably watching the Mara River crossing, characterized by strong currents, giant crocodiles, and hippos waiting for the animals to jump into the brown waters and prey on them. It’s usually a battle for survival, and only the strong ones see the promised land in the Masai Mara National Reserve.
