Its fame lies in the spectacular migration of zebras and wildebeest, determined by rainfall, leading them across diverse landscapes. From woodlands and hills in November-December to the grassy plains in the south, their journey is a continuous quest for fresh grazing lands and water sources. Predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions add to the park's allure.
