Serengeti, Tanzania, Africa: Wildebeest Migration - January to July

The annual 'Great Migration' has been ranked as one of the wonders of the natural world. More than a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains, covering 1800 miles of parks, reserves and protected areas. So strong is the ancient instinct to move, that no drought, gorge or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. Visitors to the Serengeti traveling from November to July are likely to see the migratory herds at some stage of their continual cycle.
