Headed back toTanzania next week! We’re timing our arrival perfectly for the Great Migration birthing season—a time of incredible renewal on the "endless plains" of the Serengeti National Park.
The action never stops. Check out these two Thomson’s gazelles sparring below! This ritualized fighting behavior is how they establish territory.

A group of Thomson’s gazelles (Tommies) with distinct black side stripes resting in the golden grass of the Serengeti.
They have racing stripes for a reason.
Clocked at a blistering 40 mph, the Thomson’s gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii) is officially the fourth fastest land animal on the planet. It’s no coincidence that these spry antelopes thrive in the same habitat as the cheetah—the world’s fastest animal, capable of bursts exceeding 65 mph.
In the open plains, speed is a survival requirement. For these "Tommies," a well-timed juke, a sudden jump, or a high-speed "stotting" leap can mean the difference between life and death. I spotted this particular group recharging their batteries in the heart of the Serengeti after a morning of high-stakes grazing.
Watching a Thomson’s gazelle evade a predator is one of the most electric sights on an African safari. If you want to cheer on these sprinters in person, the clock is ticking for our next expedition.
