Movement of wildebeests: This is a colossal movement of wildebeest across the landscape of the Serengeti National park in an endless pursuit of fresh water and grass.

Regardless of what time of the year you visit the park in Tanzania, you have the possibility of being able to watch the movement. The most unique and popular time to explore Serengeti park is during the famous Grumeti and Mara river crossings, where the streams of wildebeests brave the crocodile in rivers to cross towards the Maasai Mara park in Kenya.
