Every year, from the end of July to the beginning of October, more than a million wildebeest, 300 thousand zebra, and thousands of gazelle cross the Serengeti. At this time of year, with a bit of luck and patience, you too can watch the great migration cross the Mara river.

The Serengeti is one of the best regions in Africa to observe lions, cheetahs, and leopards in their natural habitat.

Taking place between January and March, an estimated 8,000 baby gnu a day are born during the peak of the season in February.
