Highlights
The Great Migration
Each year, from June to October, more than 1.5 million wildebeests, accompanied by zebras and gazelles embark on a dramatic journey across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara (Kenya). This awe-inspiring event is driven by the need for fresh grazing and water, forming a giant clockwise loop through East Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
River Crossings
The Mara River crossings is the most thrilling and sought-after moments of the migration. Herds plunge into fast-flowing waters, risking their lives against steep banks, strong currents, and lurking predators such as Nile crocodiles & big cats. These crossings are raw, intense, and emotional ! A true display of nature’s power and the wildebeest’s survival instinct.
