Which national park in Tanzania is famous for the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras?

Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is famous for the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras. Each year, enormous herds move through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grass and water, following seasonal rainfall across Tanzania and Kenya.

The migration involves roughly 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras, along with Thomson’s gazelles and other grazing animals. The cycle generally includes calving on the southeastern plains, movement toward the Western Corridor, river crossings farther north, and a return south when the short rains begin.

The herds’ route is not confined to the national park. It also passes through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and eventually reaches Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. That is why the Maasai Mara is a common but incomplete alternative answer: it is part of the migration landscape, while the question asks for the Tanzanian national park most associated with it.

Serengeti National Park was established in 1940 and covers more than 15,000 square kilometres of savanna, woodland, rivers, and distinctive granite kopjes.
