Wildebeest Herd Returning Toward the Serengeti

Not all movement is northbound, a herd of wildebeest has been spotted heading back into the Serengeti. Such back and forth shifts are common during the migration as the herds search for fresh grazing and safer passage.

While many wildebeest have already crossed into the Maasai Mara, some groups continue to move between both sides, showing just how dynamic and unpredictable the migration can be.
