The Great Wildebeest Migration is an annual natural mass movement of over 1.7 million of Wildebeests, accompanied by over 800,000 of Zebra, and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thompson’s Gazelle, Eland and Impala. The animals are constantly moving from one location to another.
The Migration is a spontaneous natural event and the timing changes month by month; year by year, depending on the weather and when the rains start. Therefore, there can be no guarantee in advance where the annual migration will be at any specific time.
If you are in the Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make their arrival as early as mid July, but they generally arrive between August & September and remain in the Masai Mara between October & November. Between the end of November and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration from the Masai Mara back towards the Serengeti.
The best time to go on safari and witness the event in Serengeti National Park is December to February and from May to July. In December the migrating Zebra’s begin to give birth in the northern part of the Serengeti and from late January through to about middle of March, is the Wildebeest calving season, when large herds tend to concentrate in the Southern Serengeti National Park spilling over to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. During these months, the plains with their new fresh, abundant short-grass provide the perfect feeding ground for migrating animals to stay for about 10 – 12 weeks.
The Predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard and hunting dogs with vultures circling overhead, never far away as there is always the chance of an easy hunt on a newly born or young Wildebeest, Zebra or even a Gazelle. This is the prime time for a safari in the Serengeti.
During the months of April or early May the migration is due to be in the south-western region of the Serengeti. At this time the area is extremely wet with many roads being impassable, these 2 months is not recommended for Migration viewing
However, afterwards, June and July are generally a perfect time to catch the wildlife migrating along the Western Corridor, slowly heading northwards. And come August the Migration is right in the north, heading in to Kenya.
