The home to one of the greatest animal migration

The Serengeti National Park is the home of the great migration that occurs throughout the year, as the large herd of unique wild animal species move in a continuous cycle through the year between the Serengeti National Park and Maasai Mara National Park of Kenya. The great annual animal migration is a natural phenomenon where millions of wild animals led by the wildebeest move from Serengeti National Park toward the Maasai Mara National Park back in search of water and green pastures. The millions of wildebeest normally led this migration followed by thousands of zebras and gazelles. In this animal migration, a spectacular view of the predators will not be missed as they follow along the way from afar for their prey. During the migration the shadows of Lions, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles and hyenas will be seen following closely, which creates an incredible narrative of survival in the wild. Great migration gives the maximum enjoyment for the viewers as they can see many different animal species in one location.

The migration normally occurs because of the availability of food and water between these two national parks due to the difference in rainy and dry seasons. In January all the way to June the animals are found in the southern part of Tanzania and they slowly start moving to the northern part of this national park. In July each year, they are already at the northern part of Serengeti National Park and they begin to cross and enter the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya. From late September to October, the animals start moving back to the northern part of Serengeti National Park and by January they are all found in the Southern part of this national park. The loop goes on and on.
