Around July or August every year, tourists throng the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Narok county to witness the great wildebeest migration. More than 1.5 million wildebeests make a daring, perilous journey from Serengeti in Tanzania across the Mara River into the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The crossing into the Mara is only part of a year-long migration of the wildebeests, which begins in Serengeti in February. The National Geographic has referred to the migration as one of the Eight Wonders of the World. Sometimes called The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the original list was based on a 225 BCE work by Philo of Byzantium called On The Seven Wonders.
