The Great Wildebeest Migration
Natural travel wonders in the world.
Natural travel wonders in the world.
The annual migration takes place around October each year and it is the largest and longest migrations in the world making it one of the natural travel wonders in the world. The 2 million or so herbivores leave the north and head for the southern plains to chase the rains before returning north around April each year. These brave creatures are risking everything and face issues such as thirst, hunger and of course the predators. Along your trip of this amazing and endless plain you will see herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, gazelles and the other species of predators, including most of the big five. The migration is a beautiful event to witness and will be a memory you will never forget.
