The Wildebeest Migration in October is always on the move. The grand movement can be seen collecting as they start moving south of Serengeti. The wildebeests are mostly expectant and headed fast to the Ndutu Conservation Area for calving or birthing of wildebeest calves.
The movement starts in early October and down to the eastern side of Serengeti throughout October, to catch up with the short rains that the Central and Eastern Serengeti sides experience.
After the East African short rains in late October and early November, the wildebeest move down from Kenya and into the eastern limits of the Serengeti past Namiri Plains, an area known for outstanding cheetah sightings.
To enjoy wildebeest sightings in October, it is recommended to visit the Eastern and Central parts of the Serengeti, as there are many huge herds.
Although it’s also easy to see Mara river crossings in northern Serengeti, since some herds are left behind, bigger herds are always ahead leading the herds towards the south.
