It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous.  Over 1.5 million wildebeests and about 400,000 zebras take part in this migration which essentially involves three famous and important conservation areas – Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania and the Masai Mara reserve in Kenya.  It is a clockwise migratory movement during which sequence, the animals start arriving at the eastern Serengeti short grass plains in late November – December, where calving of the wildebeests takes place.  At the end of the long rains, the migration hends westwards and then turns north to reach Masai Mara reserve in late August – September.
