Tour Overview:

The great wildebeest migration is a must-see for wildlife enthusiasts. You’ll spend four days in the park witnessing the highlights of this spectacular event. You will observe millions of antelopes and zebras making their journey from Tanzania to Kenya in search of green pastures. You’ll witness the thrilling moments when lions and leopards take advantage of the migration for their own hunting pursuits.
