Eight million hooves on the open plains — the biggest animal spectacle on earth.
The annual wildebeest-and-zebra migration in the Serengeti is the biggest animal spectacle the world over, taking place normally between November and July the following year. Some have termed this event one of the greatest wonders of the world.
Some eight million hooves pound the open grasslands: a blur of brown and black and white stripes rushing past, bleating, snorting, dust kicking up into the air. Huge herds of wildebeest and zebra are likely to be resident with new-born calves, accompanied by large numbers of gazelle — and predators.
