Following the long rains in June, around 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebras and 200,000 gazelles travel in a clockwise direction from the Serengeti through the Maasai Mara from July to October before returning once again near the end of the year. They cover more than 1,000 miles in search of grass on which to feed, crossing both the Grumeti River and Mara Rivers, facing natural disasters and lurking predators along the way.

There is always action-packed drama as thousands of animals are taken by hungry crocodiles during the river crossings and thousands more are born, renewing and sustaining the circle of life. A front-row seat to the Great Migration from your safari jeep is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can be your ticket to this most extraordinary wildlife extravaganza on a safari tailor-made to track the wildebeest on their path and view the Great Wildebeest Migration up close.
