The Maasai Mara National Reserve has officially been included in the World Book of Records for hosting the World's Greatest Annual Terrestrial Wildlife Migration.
The migration involves millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles that traverse the Maasai Mara and Serengeti reserve in Tanzania, at particular times of the year, especially in the rainy season, in search of fresh grazing lands and water.

In a letter addressed to the Narok Governor, Patrick Ole Ntuntu, World Books of Records President Santosh Shukla, said that the migration was the largest and most dramatic animal migration in the world.
