The Great Migration: the spectacular wildlife event where over a million wildebeest and zebra move across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. Rama, Tanzania & Zanzibar travel expert, says: "For the Mara River area, patience is everything. The herds may gather at the banks for hours before crossing, or suddenly move away and return later. Trust your guide’s timing and avoid rushing between viewpoints. Keep your camera ready, but also take moments to watch without the lens. The tension, dust, and movement are part of what makes this experience unforgettable".
