Millions of wildebeests and zebras move through Ngorongoro crater during rain season.
The Great African Migration is an all-year-round phenomenon. Seeking for new grazing fields hundreds of wildebeests and zebras move through the Serengeti-Mara, and predators in their turn follow them hoping to get prey.
From December till March the migration move through plains of South Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area - the edge of the crater covered with bushes and tallgrass, and in the valley there is a body of water.

While migrating the animals move through about 3000 kilometers every year and eat about 4000 tonnes of grass every day. A lot of them die on the way, but about 200 000 baby animals come into the world.
