De grote karekiet is van oudsher een vogel van laagveenmoerassen, het rivierengebied en binnendijkse kreken in de Delta. De grote karekiet is een typische rietbewoner met een stevig postuur. Van alle rietzangerachtigen is de grote karekiet het meest gebonden aan flinke oppervlakten stevig, overjarig riet aan de rand van open water. Dat heeft vooral te maken met het zware nest, dat door jong riet of andere vegetatie niet gedragen kan worden. Grote karekieten leven van middelgrote insecten en slakken, die liefst in dichte, kruidenrijke vegetatie verzameld worden. Het zijn trekvogels, die de winter doorbrengen in tropisch Afrika.
De soort staat op de Rode Lijst.
A singing male like this one is a hit among birders - a super idol - but this merry fellow has the x-factor for females too: on average, 40% of the males have at least two females simultaneously breeding on their territories.
Males arrive to the breeding area about two weeks before the females. Unmated males and males trying to attract females sing at high intensity and use long song phrases.
This singer-songwriter is a long distance migrant that spends the winter in tropical Africa.
