The great wildebeest migration is an annual occurrence that takes place between Serengeti national park and Masai Mara game reserve involving 1.5 million wildebeests, thousands of zebras and gazelles moving in search of better pastures and fresh water. About 400000 wildebeests are born around Ndutu area at the beginning of the year and about 250000 die during the migration mainly due to predation from lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles during the Grumeti and Mara river crossings. The animals cover a distance of 800 to 1000 kilometers during their overall journey.
