Guides of how Wildebeests migration from January to December?
Wildebeest are more than two millions in number at Serengeti national park. The migration takes more than 1.5 millions of wildebeests plus zebra and hundreds of tailing predators.
Wildebeests migration is due to many reasons but amongst are seasonal rains, green pastures and clouds shadows.
Wildebeests migrates from southern Serengeti at Ndutu via central Serengeti saying for green pastures depends on seasonal rains. Wildebeests cross Mara River when they thought it might rain in Masai Mara they cross the river. After some time they recognise it is not raining. O ooh wrong the head lead back again and cross the river to and from several times because to them it is confusing. Crossing the Mara river is tough journey of more than two weeks. It is very risks for wildebeests to cross through hundreds of Nile crocodiles and many more predators. The migrants who survive approaches the Masai Mara and back again again to Serengeti After one month.I only write light words but this is very very fantastic.
Wildebeests migrations is listed as one of the world's most spectacular natural events - every year over a million wildebeest, zebra and antelope migrate clockwise around the Serengeti/Masai Mara ecosystem, taking in two different countries and making time for birthing, courting and mating on the way.
But the trouble with the Wildebeest Migration is that if you get your timing wrong, you will end up gazing out over a wildebeest-less savannah and wondering where all the animals went.
Based on historical data, this guide is not infallible (changing rainfall patterns make predicting the Migration an inexact science) but it will give you an idea of where the herds are likely to be.
For the most up-to-date advice, send us an enquiry and we'll have an Africa Safari Expert answer all your Migration questions.
JANUARY: The herds are in Tanzania's Serengeti, moving south from the north-east region and into the southern Serengeti, Ndutu area and Ngorongoro Conservation area - which often means out of the confines of the (unfenced) national park itself. It is calving season - prepare yourself for lots of wobbly babies... and lots of heartbreak as predators swoop in.
FEBRUARY: The good grazing of the Southern Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro Conservation areas means the herds remain in the far south.
MARCH: They are still in the south but the grasses have all been munched up, the last calves born and the herds are starting to gather in preparation for the next leg.
APRIL: Make sure you are on the southern Serengeti plains - the wildebeest begin their northward journey, and many have left already and are in the central and even western Serengeti.
Where to stay:Serengeti Under Canvas and Olakira Camp are mobile tented camps that follow the Wildebeest Migration across the Serengeti plains.
Opportunistic predators follow the herds, always looking for an easy kill...
Your senses will be on overdrive as you drive through stomping, bellowing herds of wildebeest.
MAY: Wagons roll! The massed herds are on the go, huge columns of up to 40km in length can be seen as the wildebeest funnel up into the central and western Serengeti.
JUNE: Head for the central and western Serengeti - the herds are there and getting ready for the toughest part of their odyssey.
JULY: Book early - it is the Big Event: river crossings. The herds have reached the western Serengeti and Grumeti Reserves and are peering closely at the brown waters of the rivers they have to cross. Why? Huge Nile crocodiles, that is why.
AUGUST: The survivors celebrate by feasting in the northern Serengeti and begin crossing back into Kenya'sMasai Mara National Reserve. You need a passport to cross; the wildebeest are exempt.
The herds cross the Grumeti & Mara Rivers during July & August - the most dramatic aspect of the Migration.
SEPTEMBER: The herds break up into smaller groups - about half of the animals remain in the northern Serengeti, the rest are swapping stories in the Masai Mara ('Did you hear that Nigel didn't make it across the Grumeti?').
OCTOBER: Your best bet is the Masai Mara but bear in mind it is a far smaller reserve than the Serengeti and there may be a lot of other visitors. The conservancies in the Mara are much less crowded and, not only will you stil be able to witness the Migration, you will also be benefitting the Maasai communities who have lived there for thousands of years.
NOVEMBER: The short rains have begun, propelling the wildebeest to leave the now denuded grasslands of the Masai Mara and back into the rejuvenated Serengeti.
DECEMBER: Fresh grazing sees the wildebeest clustered in the north-eastern Serengeti (around Lobo in particular) as well as the southern Serengeti. Calving begins again, the predators move in again, and the cycle of life begins all over again. Contacts us via gudluckhdm@gmail.com for more information. There are a lots of companies for safaris to Serengeti but local operator is may best choice for you. Because they exactly know about when it is migration. In case seasonal rains abnormal. Rhino Explorer Tours and Safaris is an alternative.Tour operator for safaris to Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro climbing, lake Natron, Oldonyo Lengai, Selous Game Reserve, Gombe primates safari and Lake Manyara.
