All About July

The Great Wildebeest Migration in July

July :- Start of the Wildebeest Crossings happens in July

The Wildebeest Migration in July is a bit more intense, and you can easily spot the Migration Crossings, in Northern Serengeti either crossing the Grumeti River west of Serengeti or the Main Mara River, Northern part of the Grumeti River.

Huge herds cross these major rivers as they head to far north at the edge of the Kenya and Tanzania Border. Some herds cross to Masai Mara, but this happens later in July and maybe in August.

Following our daily herdtracker map, you can easily track these wildebeests and know where exactly they are.
