East Africa has the prettiest sites and the best insight regarding this migration. Here, tens of thousands of people gather around to witness this show. This is the greatest wildlife spectacle since you get to hear and see over 1 million wildebeest, 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle, and around 200,000 zebra who are being relentlessly tracked by Africa’s great predators.
Unfortunately, it is quite hard to predict the exact moment when this event is going to happen. This depends a lot on the rain. Why and how? Animals follow the path of the rain since they have to feed off the new grass, but also stay close to an amazing water supply. You may have to get up several times throughout the week and early in the morning to catch this exact moment. However, it will be worth it in the end.
