Everything You Need to Know About The Great Migration Serengeti

 

In simple words, the great Migration Serengeti is a wonderful magical natural cycle that takes place in Serengeti National park. Every year, over two million wildebeest and over 20 000 plains games take part in this spectacular phenomenon. They migrate from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to southern Kenya's Masai Mara in search of water and lush grazing grounds. This epic journey spans over3000 kilometers and is virtually endless. This is the main reason The Wildebeest Migration Safari Serengeti is one of the most popular Tanzania Safari Holidays.

What is The Great Migration of Serengeti?


Even though it is referred to as an annual event, the Great Migration of Serengeti is actually a fluid and continuous, year-long journey of animals migrating through Tanzania and Kenya in search of sustenance. Known to be virtually endless, the Great Migration moves rhythmically in a clockwise direction.

At the start, significant multi-thousand animals march ahead forming mega-herds and clump together. More often there are smaller herds spread throughout multiple regions. All of these herds make this journey with two basic goals in mind: water and fresh grazing lands. So naturally, every year people from all around the world choose Tanzania Safari Tours to witness this magical cycle of Wildebeest Migration Serengeti.

 ●    The major part of the Wildebeest migration flows through Serengeti National Park, the Maasai Mara Reserve, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

●    The animals face dangerous Gourmet river crossings, where many either draw or fall prey to the jaws of hungry crocodiles.

●    Whilst the migration is always moving, there are defined periods when you can expect to find the animals in certain locations. For instance, enormous herds reside in the southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area between late December to early March, where females give birth to the next generation.

●    This calving season ends around early April. Following this, the herds move on towards the Serengeti’s western corridor.

The Best Time To See The Migration Serengeti

 



●    Wildebeest moves around Serengeti National Park practically all year round. They make their way from the south between January to April arriving near mesmerizing Seronera Valley around May and June.

●    However, the best time to see the Wildebeest Migration Of Serengeti is between July to October. Because this is the time huge herds reach Grumeti River.

●    Soon after, they crossed the Mara River into Kenya between August and September only to return to the Serengeti in October.

●    Soon they start heading south again, arriving at eastern plains around November, December. Thus begins the clockwise cycle all over again.

●    But if you want to witness the Wildebeest calving we advise you to visit between January to March.
