Topis are
exceptionally gregarious and live in herds of 15 to 20, although in some
places, it is possible to see herds of hundreds. They have a remarkable social
organization that is linked to the geographic and seasonal distribution of
food. In some areas of the Serengeti and the Mara, topis have large territories
within a home range, occupied throughout the year by a male and a small
breeding herd of females. Both males and the females cooperate in defending the
territory against strange topis of either sex.

The Migration is not a
continuously forward motion. They go forward, backwards, and to the sides, they
mill around, they split up, they join forces again, they walk in a line, the
spread out, or they hang around together. You can never predict with certainty
where they will be; the best you can do is suggest likely timing based on past
experience

The
endless plains of Serengeti, are the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife
spectacle – the 1.5+ million animal ungulate (wildebeest) migration. From the vast Serengeti plains to
the champagne colored hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara over 1.4 million wildebeest
and 200,000 zebra and gazelle, migrate in a clockwise fashion over 1,800 miles
each year in search of rain ripened grass.
