the Great Migration River Crossings

One of the most stunning wildlife spectacles on the planet is the Great Wildebeest Migration. Each year, 1.5 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and vast herds of antelope travel in a circular movement across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. Many travelers call it the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” and with good reason. The migration is dramatic, unpredictable, and full of action!

The Maasai Mara is the best place to see the Great Migration if you are traveling to Kenya on a safari. This guide provides detailed information about everything you need to know regarding the migration, including when it occurs, what you can expect to see, where you will stay, and how to plan the best safari.
