Mbalageti lies right on the thundering the path of the Great Migration. The Mbalageti River Valley links the plains to the woodlands and forms a natural corridor that the great wildebeest and zebra migration follow each year. During both the northward and southward migrations, this valley offers phenomenal game viewing as it lies directly on the main wildebeest and zebra migration route. The valley is also home to the Serengeti's most striking and powerful raptor, the Martial Eagle.
