THE GREAT MIGRATION: AFRICA’S SPECTACULAR WILDLIFE JOURNEY
Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 300,000 gazelles embark on a perilous 1,200-mile trek across Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara—the Great Migration. Driven by seasonal rains, herds face crocodile-infested rivers, lion ambushes, and exhaustion in search of fresh grass. This epic cycle of life and death sustains predators and shapes ecosystems. The migration’s timing shifts with climate patterns, making it a dynamic spectacle. Beyond wildlife drama, it boosts East African tourism, supporting local communities. However, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict threaten its future. Witness nature’s greatest show, understand its ecological significance, and explore efforts to preserve this unforgettable journey.
