One of nature’s greatest spectacles, the great wildebeest migration is truly the most sought after wildlife experience for travellers across the globe.
Each year during the Great Wildebeest Migration, over one million wildebeest move through Northern Tanzania and Kenya, searching for fresh grass and water. During this time, they will birth calves, brave crocodile-infested waters, and try to outwit predators such as the lions, cheetahs, and leopards lying in wait.
To witness this movement is truly one of the most magnificent and life-changing experiences – which is no wonder it’s been dubbed one of the new seven wonders of the world.
6 Reasons The Great Wildebeest Migration Should Be On Your Bucket List
If you are planning an East African safari, here are 6 reasons why the great wildebeest migration has to be on your bucket list:

The wildebeest migration in East Africa is the largest land migration of mammals in the world. No other experience compares in scale to the huge numbers of incredible animals that constitute this migration. It’s a seething, beautiful mass of movement unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

2. It’s Not Just Wildebeest
