The Great Wildebeest Migration

In the Summer of 2023, my family and I had the incredible opportunity to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara Reserve.

Our jeep stopped at the edge of a slope that led down to what looked like a dried-up stream. On the other side awaited a large hoard of Wildebeests and Zebras, most grazing, and some making their way down into the streambed through a narrow patch of barren land.

Witnessing a small part of their long migration journey was in itself, a remarkable sight–something we’d only ever seen in documentaries, now unfolded right before us.
