Introduction to the Great Serengeti Migration.
The Great Serengeti Migration is one of the most extraordinary natural events that takes place in Tanzania every year. It is an annual event that sees over a million wildebeest, zebra, and other grazing animals travel through the Serengeti National Park in search of fresh grass. The migration is a fascinating spectacle that is full of drama, excitement, and raw natural beauty.
The Start of the Migration.
The Serengeti Migration usually starts in January, when the wildebeest give birth to their calves in the southern Serengeti. This is a quiet time in the migration, but it is also the time when the wildebeest are at their most vulnerable. Predators such as lions and hyenas are always on the lookout for easy prey, and this makes for some intense wildlife viewing.
The Herds Start Moving North.
In February, the wildebeest start moving northwards towards the Grumeti River. This is a great time to see the migration, as the wildebeest and zebra move in massive herds that stretch as far as the eye can see. You can witness the predators following the herds, hoping to catch a weak or injured animal.
Crossing the Mara River.
From June to July, the wildebeest cross the Mara River in search of new pastures. This is one of the most spectacular sights of the entire migration, as the wildebeest plunge into the water, battling the strong currents and the waiting crocodiles. It is a moment of high drama that you will never forget.
The Return to the Serengeti.
From August to September, the wildebeest start to move back towards the Serengeti, crossing the Mara River once again. This is a time of plenty, as the grass in the Serengeti is at its most nutritious. It is also a time of intense predator action, as the wildebeest have to contend with lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
The End of the Cycle.
In October, the wildebeest start moving back towards the southern Serengeti, where the migration cycle starts all over again. This is a time of plenty for the predators, as the wildebeest are once again at their most vulnerable.
