Experience
Great Migration
About this experience
What to expect.
The Great Migration is an ecological marvel. Each year, nearly 2 million animals - predominantly zebra, wildebeest and gazelle - move between the Serengeti in Tanzania, and the Masai Mara in Kenya. The picture is reminiscent of a scene from the Jungle Book. Open plains filled with vast number of animals in every direction.
