The migration happens from July to September as the wildebeest cross the Mara River to the Maasai Mara National Reserve of Kenya passing through the Serengeti Maasai Mara ecosystem. The Northern Serengeti wildebeest migration is more dramatic seeing wildebeest and other grazers throw themselves in water amidst the lager Nile Crocodiles in the water. This wildebeest migration is interesting that human cannot tell exact date of the migration but fellow animals especially the predators can camp there in time just waiting for the great opportunity to start hunting. At the time of migration every wildebeest has a dream to cross and survive yet the Crocodiles also count on the animals for their dinner and lunches hence making everything strange as they have to go for the survival for the fittest. Also the high cliffs of the rift valley escarpments makes the river deep and not easy to have a U-turn, once they have entered the river there no looking back. Other animals to see during the northern wildebeest migration are the elusive Leopard, Hippos, Hyrax, Mongoose, Birds and Reptiles.

The area has been subject to extensive archaeological research for over 60 years and has yielded a long sequence of evidence of human dynamics collectively extending over a span of almost 4 million years to the early modern era. This evidence includes fossilized footprints at Laetoli associated with the development of human bipedalism, a sequence of diverse evolving hominine species within Olduvai Gorge which range from Australopiths such as Zinjanthropus boisei to the Homo lineage that includes Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens; an early form of Homo sapiens at Lake Ndutu and in the Ngorongoro crater, remains the development of stone technology and the transition to the use of iron.
