Over six nights and seven days, photographers are given a front-row seat to the action, as nearly 500,000 gazelle and zebra accompany 1.5 million wildebeests as they make the perilous journey across the dusty grasslands.

Trevor McCall-Peat, a wildlife photographer and Wild Eye photography guide, has led countless safari photography expeditions in a career that has spanned 15 years, but for him, no other location is as exciting as the Masai Mara.
“Each morning I wake up in Masai Mara, I am filled with excitement as to what the new day has to offer,” McCall-Peat says. “In the Masai Mara, especially during the Great Migration, you never know what you are going to see, but you do know that whatever it is, it will be incredible to witness.

I have been leading safari trips in the region for years, however, I know that every time I return to the Masai Mara, I am going to see something I have never seen before. As a wildlife photographer, this leads to capturing portfolio worthy images each and every time I visit the Masai Mara.”

Known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the ten Wonders of the World, the Great Migration begins in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the southern part of Tanzania. The wildebeest move clockwise through Serengeti National Park as they make their way north towards the Masai Mara.

Between January and March, almost 300,000 zebras will precede the wildebeest and make their way across the plains of the Serengeti, on their way to the Mara for better grazing opportunities.
