The Great Migration is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth.

Each year huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle migrate from their breeding grounds around Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, through the Serengeti and up into Kenya’s Masai Mara before completing their circle of life the following spring.
