Between July to October, you can witness an actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.
Serengeti offers an exotic game-viewing experience in the whole of Africa giving you an up-close look at the animals you've only seen in National Geographic: great herds of buffalos, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, and thousands of elands, topi, kongonis, impalas and Grant’s gazelles.
