Season
JAN – MAR
January – March: The Calving Continues The herds congregate on the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti and westernmost regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. So, estimated 500 000 calves are born during a two- to three-week window in February. This mass calving draws a staggering number of predators eager to prey on the vulnerable newborns.
APR – JUN
April to mid-June: The Trek North and The Rut As the rains come to an end and the ground dries, the herds start making their way north into the central Serengeti where the grass is still fresh and they can graze and tend their young. Moving slowly, they graze as they go, making the most of the fresh grass. Mating season begins and the male wildebeest do fierce battle for a mate. Throughout the rut, the journey continues as some herds head west into the Western Corridor and cross the Grumeti River.
JULY – NOVE
Mid-June to November: River Crossings The wildebeest herds head towards the north of the Serengeti. The river crossings, considered by some to be the most exciting events of the Great Migration, usually start in July, but timing all depends on the rains. The herds are in the Northern Serengeti as well as in Kenya’s Masai Mara.
Daily river crossings we see at the Mara and Talek rivers – both often central to highly dramatic scenes. Later, the herds usually cross back to the Serengeti from the Mara and head towards the now fertile southern Serengeti. Moreover, the herds travel fast and cover long distances in a single day.
DECEMBER
December: The Calving Begins The herds congregate on the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti and northernmost regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. An estimated 500 000 calves are born during a two- to the three-week window in February. This mass calving draws a staggering number of predators eager to prey on the vulnerable newborns.
