Every year, hundreds of thousands of wildebeests make their way across the Serengeti in Tanzania for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle, one of Africa’s most iconic events: the Great Wildebeest Migration. In 2023, you can be part of this incredible event and embark on an unforgettable journey!
The Annual Wildebeest Migration
The wildebeests’ annual journey covers an incredible 1,800 miles. Starting in the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti, the migration moves northward during the wet season. Wildebeests, accompanied by zebras, gazelles, and other species, move in search of fresh grazing as the climate shifts from wet to dry.
In the Serengeti, some of the largest concentrations of herbivore mammals on earth can be observed as the wildebeests move in vast and ever-changing herds, searching for the rains that will bring them sustenance. Along the way, they often encounter fierce predators that stalk them, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas.
The journey ends in the short grass plains of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, where the migratory herds arrive in search of food and water. Here, they will stay for the dry season before heading back south again.
