It involves the mass movement of over a million animals, including wildebeest, antelope, zebras, and majestic big cats like lions, migrating from the Serengeti National Park into the Masai Mara National Reserve. This migration forms a continuous, year-long clockwise circuit between the Serengeti in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya.
