Numbers:

The Serengeti Migration is the world's largest land mammal migration, and it happens every year. The relentless herd of wildebeest and zebras starts moving in September or October each year across the Mara River into Kenya.

The sheer number of animals in their migration can often clog up the river crossings, resulting in many drowning or getting stuck on rocks.

Crossing and the perils:

When crossing wildebeest plunge into the water as crocodiles and other predators lie in wait, creating a race against time. Watching these antelopes of all ages make it across is an incredible sight that can only be witnessed at the Mara and Serengeti.

The Circular Journey:

This migration follows a circular pattern throughout the year, with over 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebras, and 12,000 eland moving in search of fresh grass and water. The journey covers approximately 800 kilometers and is driven by rainfall patterns and the availability of grazing land.
