The Great Wildebeest Migration is the world's largest overland animal migration, with over 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra and 200,000 gazelle making their annual 1,800 km circular journey between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara. This iconic 7-day safari puts you front-row for river crossings, predator action, and breathtaking savanna panoramas. Our expert guides know the migration patterns intimately, maximising every wildlife moment.
