The annual migration of millions of wildebeests, zebras and Thompson’s gazelles across the plains of the Serengeti Ecosystem is one of the largest mass-movement of land mammals known to man. These herbivores cross the crocodile infested waters of the Grumeti & Mara Rivers in search of food and water and are closely followed by various predators. Witness nature in all its drama on this tour to Kenya. Sarath Champati, our Tour Leader is an expert on African wildlife and has led several tours and expeditions for almost two decades.
