Introduction
The Great Migration in Serengeti is a breathtaking natural phenomenon that draws millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across East Africa each year. This epic journey of survival and instinct attracts travelers, nature lovers, and photographers from all over the world to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti in both Kenya and Tanzania.
If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing this once-in-a-lifetime event, there’s no better way to do it than with Venture Africa Budget Safaris. From expertly planned tours to authentic African experiences, they know exactly how to bring the magic of Serengeti National Park to life — and more importantly, they do it affordably.
What Is the Wildebeest Migration?
The Wildebeest Migration is one of the greatest natural events on Earth. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest — along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles — move in a circular journey across the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. They’re in search of fresh grass, water, and safety for their young.
This journey isn’t easy. The animals must cross crocodile-infested rivers, face big cat predators, and navigate harsh weather. Yet, they press on in one of the most powerful displays of survival. The Great Migration in Serengeti begins around this region, where the animals follow ancient patterns in search of greener pastures.

“I didn’t expect to get this close. When we reached the Mara River, thousands of wildebeest gathered on the edge. Suddenly, one jumped, then the rest followed. It was like a living waterfall!
