Wildebeest Migration Safaris

The migratory path of the wildebeest

December, January, February & March:

The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater are arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuaries in the world. During the months of December through to March, the seemingly endless plains of the Southern Serengeti and the Crater are inhabited by massive herds of wildebeest and zebra. The enormous herds graze on the lush grass. In the calving season (late January through to mid March) the herds are concentrated here, attracting the attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena.

April & May:

During the months of April and May the over-grazed plains are unable to sustain such massive herds. The migration sweeps northwest, moving from the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti and the Crater to the long grass plains and woodland of the Serengeti’s western corridor, towards Lake Victoria. This period is during the long rains and is considered unsuitable for game viewing as roads are often closed or impassable.

June:

By now the wildebeest herds have depleted the western corridor’s pasturelands and the herds must continue north to graze further. May through June is the period where breeding occurs and is a transitional period between the wet and the dry season.

July, August, September & October:

In early July the numerous herds have gathered at the banks of the Mara River, the final hurdle to the lush grasses of the Masai Mara. Desperate to feed, the wildebeest and zebra must negotiate crocodile infested waters. Due to their large numbers the majority of animals pass safely, however predators take advantage of stragglers whilst others drown in strong currents. During this period the wildebeest remain in the Mara.

November:

The arrival of short rains draws the migration south. Towards the end of November the herds make their way back into the southern Serengeti and the cycle continues.

Please note: The wildebeest migration is a naturally occurring event and timings may vary depending on the seasonal rains and the above is just a typical pattern.

Masai Mara

Three full days in the reserve to explore Masai Mara and probably trailing migrating wildebeests. The Masai Mara is the most famous and prolific game park in Kenya covering an area of 1672 square kilometres. It is classified as a Reserve as opposed to a National Park to allow the Masai people to use the area to graze their cattle. A highlight of the Mara is no doubt the annual wildebeest migration, when literally millions of these beasts stray north from the Serengeti in search of grass for food, before turning south again.
