THE WILDLIFE YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ON A GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI

The Great Migration takes place in some of the most wildlife-dense regions on the planet: the Serengeti and Masai Mara. It provides opportunities to see wildebeest, zebra, topi, Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland and impala. You can think of the animals as two groups: the travelers and the locals. Wildebeest and zebra are the migratory, and the other animals live in the territory that the migration passes through. Beyond the unique dramaticspectacle of the huge herd of animals moving across the
continent, you also see an immense variety of plains game,predators, river-based animals and birds. The predator-prey relationship is on active display. The migration passes through lion, leopard and cheetah territories, providing Hunting scenes. When crossing the river, wildebeest fight with crocodile in the water, while other predators wait on the plains attempting to ambush the game. During calving season, predators are attracted from far and wide as they seek the chance of easy pickings. The miracle of birth is also observable, as you can witness calves being dropped and learning to walk and run within minutes.
