This mass exodus of 1.5 million wildebeest together with 500,000 zebra and gazelle on their eternal search for water and greener pastures is one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth. When the dry season arrives around June, the grasses are exhausted and the wildebeest head to permanent water. Forming columns which stretch for miles, the wildebeest are joined by zebra and other hoofed animals start their long trek from Tanzania's Serengeti Plains, they travel north to Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve, until they reach food and water. Their journey runs in a clockwise circle and the animals cover a distance of around 1800 miles. One of the most spectacular sights of the migration is when the herds gather to cross the Grumeti River in Tanzania and the Mara River in Kenya. As the herds cross, crocodiles are lying in wait for the weak and feeble they migratory animals are therefore very nervous and skittish.
