The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet, and the Maasai Mara is at the center of it. Every year between July and October, millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti into the Mara in search of fresh grazing grounds. This journey is dangerous, as predators like lions, leopards, and crocodiles lie in wait. The most dramatic part occurs at the Mara River, where the animals must cross treacherous waters full of crocodiles. Tourists and wildlife photographers from around the world come to witness this natural phenomenon. The migration not only supports a thriving tourism industry but also maintains ecological balance by regenerating grasslands and dispersing seeds. This annual journey is a reminder of the raw beauty and brutality of nature.
