About this trip

The Great Migration

Serengeti National park is home to thousands of migrating wildebeest which attract nature lovers, filmmakers and Photographers from around the globe. The Wildebeest migration is one of Africa's most dazzling cycles of life. Every year the wildebeest cross the Mara River in search for greener pastures. This epic journey from north to south spans almost 3000 kilometers. The herds move rhythmically in a clockwise direction as they spread across the Serengeti plains.

**Please note, these adventures are planned far in advance, and sometimes things come up that are unforeseen or unplanned. With that forethought, know the group will be accompanied on this adventure by Keith, or Michelle, and/or My1FitLife Ambassador.
