8. What is the migration?
Animal Migration means periodic change of animal
movement from one place to another, and in East
Africa its referred to Serengeti and Mara parks. In
late May / early June migration (mainly wildebeests
and zebras) begin their annual migration from north
of Serengeti to the Mara crossing the Mara river,
reaching Masai Mara park sometime in mid July /early
August depending on rain endings. After the short
rains in the month of November, the herds move back
into Serengeti and make their way to the southern
pastures where they rest and feed through the rains
until their search for better grazing leads them to
begin their annual migration once again.

This occurs in late January ~ mid March, with
thousands of them born daily within that one month

Serengeti.
