Great Migration

Hello, traveller! If you're interested in the Great Migration, you're a seasoned seeker of experiences and surely know exactly what it is, but a recap never hurts 😊.

Kenya is famous for the Great Migration of animals, during which 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras cover a distance of more than 1,800 miles. (the round trip from Kenya to Tanzania and back)

The migration is a year-round phenomenon in which the animals move from Kenya to Tanzania and then return. From January to March the animals are on the Tanzanian side (in the calving season), in the southern part of the Serengeti; they then travel north in April and May, during the rainy season.

Next they cross the Grumeti and Mara rivers and head towards Kenya. On the Kenyan side the Great Migration begins in late July or early August, when the animals arrive in Masai Mara National Park from the Serengeti in Tanzania.

The migration reverses direction in November, when the animals begin their journey back to Tanzania.
