The annual Great Migration of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is one of the greatest spectacles in the natural world. About 200 000 zebra and 500 000 Thomson's gazelle ...and one-and-a-half million wildebeest partake to this journey !

Grant's gazelles are mostly identified by their colouring and long horns. They are sandy brown on the back, clearly demarcated from a lighter colour on the flanks and white belly, and white around the tail and hind legs. Horns are found on both sexes. These gazelles are often found in mixed groups alongside other herbivores. e.g. Wildebeest, Zebras and Thomson’s Gazelle. They may occur in large numbers (up to 500 individuals) in suitable areas. They exists in large numbers in Nairobi National park, Amboseli, Masai Mara, Tsavo and Marsabit National Reserve.

The great Serengeti wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti's wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra, and smaller numbers of Grant's gazelle, Thomson's gazelle, eland and impala. These move in an annual pattern which is fairly predictable. They migrate throughout the year, constantly seeking fresh grazing and, it's now thought, better quality water. The precise timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.

The wildebeest migration in Tanzania is an annual event where over two million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and back. The migration is driven by the search for fresh grazing pastures and water as they follow the rains. This journey covers a distance of over 1,800 miles and is one of the largest and most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on Earth.
