The amazing sight of millions of plains game exposed to their predators as they seek fresh pasture

Masai Mara

Great Migration, Mara

The Great Migration is one of the most impressive wildlife events in the world, bringing large numbers of visitors to witness the annual trail and fight for survival.

Huge numbers of plains game start to arrive from Tanzania around June in search of fresh pastures. Over a million wildebeest and several hundred thousand antelopes and zebra are followed by hungry predators - most notably lions and hyena.

River crossing points provide the most spectacular locations as the pursuing predators are joined by crocodiles at the perilous bottlenecks. Best known are the crossing points across the Mara and Talek rivers.

The peak of the migration occurs in Kenya between August and September.
