What is Wildebeest Migration Calving Season

What is the Wildebeest Calving Season? Or what’s known to be the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Calving Season? Wildebeest Calving is a world wonder phenomenon where more than 8000 wildebeest calves are born between the months of January and March in the regions of South Serengeti, Ndutu Conservation Area, and a bit of Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
This is where the wildebeest migration is believed to start from, as this is the start of a wildebeest life before facing the challenges ahead of them. As they migrate from south to north of Serengeti and later enter the Masai Mara, they go through challenging terrains, environments, and seasons as well. Wildebeest Migration follows the rain patterns, but most importantly it is their biological clocks.
South of Serengeti offers a very good and conducive environment for more than 8000 wildebeest calves born, while the Masai Mara National Reserve offers the best and most conducive environment for mating in order to borth them while they return to Serengeti South.
Where Does the Wildebeest Migration Calving Season Happen?
The Best Place to experience Wildebeest Calving Safari
The Wildebeest Calving Season happens between January and March of every year. It’s known to be the start of their life and ends up moving their entire life. Between the months of January and February, the Serengeti comes to life as over a million wildebeest migrate from the North to the South to calve. The calcium-rich grass shoots from the green season attract pregnant wildebeest in search of sustenance for their soon-to-be newborns.
With over 8000 wildebeest being born each day, the calving season in Serengeti ensures incredible wildlife sightings with predators and their cubs following suit. It’s full of beehive activities as the big cats hunt lazily due to the abundance of food. Wildebeest calves are the most vulnerable as they are the closest target to these hungry fierce cats.
