www.somak.co.uk • 9 The Great Migration The wildebeest migration takes place over Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and across into Kenya’s Masai Mara. These parks are part of the same ecosystem, divided by a man-made border. During the annual migration more than a million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras, undertake the treacherous journey across the majestic plains. The large population of lions, cheetahs and leopards are permanent residents and feast on them when their paths cross. Although the exact timings and route can change each year, the migration follows a similar path, mainly determined by the rainfall.
