The great wildebeest migration, one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles, has now moved from the southern Serengeti and is spread across the central Serengeti plains. This marks a crucial phase of the journey, where the herds push northward, driven by the need for fresh grazing lands and water. The landscape is alive with hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, accompanied by zebras and gazelles.
The migration’s movement is dictated by rainfall patterns, and during this time, the central Serengeti offers incredible game-viewing opportunities. This is the perfect time to witness large predator activity, as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas take advantage of the abundance of prey.
For those hoping to catch the migration before it reaches the Mara River, careful planning is key. Tracking the herds in real time and selecting the right camps will ensure an unforgettable safari experience.
