Great Serengeti Migration Trend

The Migration trend standard is probability due to unpredictable Nature when the Wildebeest migrations dependent on rain. They usual follow the path of the rain in order to feed off the new grass whilst also being close to a good water supply.

January, February and March, with most wildebeest calves born in a short window around February.

Gradually they spread west across these plains (Ndutu Ngorongoro & Ndutu Serengeti), then around April they start their great migration north Serengeti.

By May the Serengeti’s wildebeest all seem to be moving north, migrating to seek fresh grazing and water. The area around Moru Kopjes and west of Seronera is then hectic with a series of moving columns, often containing hundreds of thousands of animals – joined by many zebra, and a scattering and Grant’s gazelles. Some of the migration then head due north of Seronera, but most are usually further west.

June the wildebeest migration is often halted on the south side of the Grumeti River, which has some channels which block or slow their migration north. The wildebeest then congregate there, in the Western Corridor, often building up to a high density before crossing the river.

The river here is normally a series of pools and channels, but it’s not continuous – and so whilst they always represent an annual feast for the Grumeti River’s large crocodiles, these aren’t usually quite as spectacular as the crossings of the Mara River, further north.

July and August, the wildebeest migration continues moving northwards, often spreading out across a broad front: some heading through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo. Others north through the heart of the Serengeti National Park

September sees the herds spread out across the northern Serengeti, where the Mara River provides the migration with its most serious obstacle.

This river gushes through the northern Serengeti from Kenya’s adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Watching the frantic herds of the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River can be very spectacular; it’s common to see herds cross the Mara River north on one day, and then back south a few days later.

By October the wildebeest herds are migrating again with more accord: all are heading south, through western Loliondo and the Serengeti National Park’s Lobo area, returning
