The wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world. Each year, millions of wildebeest, along with zebras and other herbivores, make a circular journey from the southern Serengeti to the Maasai Mara in Kenya and back again, following the rains and the availability of fresh grazing.
The migration typically starts in late January or early February, when the wildebeest give birth to their calves in the southern Serengeti. By April, the herds start to move northwards in search of fresh grazing.
The Central Serengeti is a fantastic area to see the Great Migration in action: the herds move through this section of the park from April to June as they travel northwards, and then they come back again heading south from October to December. Some of the best locations in the Central Serengeti to see the herds include the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, Moru Kopjes, Simba Kopje and Maasai Kopjes.
