Wildebeest Migration Safaris
Serengeti Great Wildebeest Migration
Calving Season
Wildebeest calving takes place in the southern Serengeti, particularly in the Ndutu region of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, during the months of January to March. This area has rich, short-grass plains nourished by seasonal rains, making it ideal for giving birth. Around 500,000 calves are born in a span of just a few weeks, usually in February. Wildebeest choose this area because the open plains offer better visibility to spot predators, and the nutrient-rich grasses support nursing mothers and fast-growing calves. Calving here ensures survival by overwhelming predators with numbers. The best time to visit is February, when the landscape is lush, wildlife is abundant, and the dramatic birthing season can be witnessed in full swing.
Wildebeest Crossing Dangerous Mara River
Wildebeest cross the dangerous Mara River in the northern Serengeti and Maasai Mara (Kenya) between AUGUST and October. This is part of their annual migration in search of fresh grazing and water as the southern and central Serengeti dry up. The Mara River is perilous, filled with strong currents and predators like crocodiles making the crossing dramatic and dangerous. Despite the risks wildebeest must cross to reach the greener pastures in the north. The best time to visit to witness river crossings is August to early October when large herds gather at the riverbanks. Patience is key as crossings are unpredictable but the spectacle of thousands of wildebeest plunging into the river is unforgettable and iconic.
