Month By Month Breakdown Of The Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Wildebeest Migration is a year – round phenomenon dictated by the rains which sees the herds moving in a constant clockwise motion throughout the Serengeti national park and Maasai Mara national reserve.

From December to April, the wildebeest herds can typically be found in the Ndutu plains in the Southern Serengeti and in late January – early February, the calving season takes place.

Once the long rains arrive in April – May, the herds move towards the Serengeti’s Western Corridor, then the wildebeest face perilous water currents and predators as they attempt to cross the Grumeti River to continue their journey north towards the lush pastures of the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Finally, the herd reaches their destination and they remain in the Masai Mara national reserve for around three months before heading back to Tanzania in November.

The Great Wildebeest Migration in January, February & March

Over a million wildebeests also called the Gnu, zebras and gazelles spend the first month of the year in the plains of Serengeti National Park feeding on the short grass and preparing for migration.

The majority of wildebeest calves have just been born in February with around half a million new calves in that month, as the Southern plains become picked over, the herds begin to spread west and prepare for their migration north in the Spring.

This makes for an incredible sight during game drives, expect to see newborn calves and you if you are lucky, you might witness a birth and also see plenty of predator action.

The wildebeest encourage their newborns to get on their feet immediately and join the herds where their safety is guaranteed. Predators like lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and rare wild dogs wait in the surrounding areas ready to prey the weak and vulnerable members of the herd.

An easy kill isn’t always guaranteed as the female wildebeest instinctively head to the short grass plains so that they can see predators approaching and they form a barricade around birthing mothers to protect them and their young ones thus ensuring the majority of the newborn calves survive.

Towards the end of the short dry season (usually the end of March), the short – grass plains in the Southern Serengeti begin to dry out and the wildebeest and zebras start to head towards the western woodlands

The Great Wildebeest Migration in April & May

Usually April brings the first signs of migration with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest beginning their arduous journey across the western plains and finally north.

The herds move through the Ndoha and Dutwa plains adjacent to the Mbalagweti River, they may begin to pile up near the Mbalagweti and Grumeti Rivers awaiting the crossing, a dangerous obstacle for animals.

The Great Wildebeest Migration June & July

Usually the rutting season starts in June and you expect to see fierce fighting between competitive males as they vie for the attention of females and it’s around this time that the dry season starts with large concentrations of wildebeest in the Western Serengeti and on the southern banks of the Grumeti River. Each migrating animal must face the challenge of crossing the crocodile-infested river and this dramatic river crossing is one of the most exciting events of the Great Migration

In early July, the hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra continue to head north along the western edge of the park toward an even riskier barrier, the Mara River in northern Serengeti and this river crossing is a memorable and exciting wildlife encounter on Earth. The Crossings usually start in July but the precise timing depends on the rains.

The migration herds will typically be found in the Northern Serengeti during the month of July and a small portion will have successfully made it to the Masai Mara with continuous daily river crossings being seen at the Mara and Talek rivers.

The Great Wildebeest Migration in August, September & October

At the start of August, the migration herds have encountered the challenge of crossing the Mara River and are spread across the Northern part the Masai Mara Reserve with many remaining in the northern part of the Serengeti National Park. One should note that there is no single crossing. At some spots, there are just a few individuals while others have a mass of animals moving without break for hours.

Later in early October, the migration herds are all Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve in search for fresh grass to gaze. This is also a wonderful time to have your safari in Masai Mara national reserve.

As the long rains begin in October, the herds begin their long journey south back to the Serengeti following the new grass but this does not mean that life becomes easy as there is always danger lurking around in form of hunting prides of lions and packs of hyenas.

The Great Wildebeest Migration in November & December Migration

At the end of October or early November, the wildebeest move down from Kenya into the eastern region of the Serengeti past Namiri Plains. By December, the wildebeest herds are spread across the eastern and southern regions and the cycle continues as the calving season starts once again.

Up close and personal with the Big Five Every aspact of this extraordinary Safari was planned & executed around the needs of the guests. With great style, compassion and care for even the tiniest detail of comfort, Mr Mussa ledme through the reservation proces, answering every one of my pesky questions about how things would unfold as my young companion and I did our very first Safari. When a Gorilla booking prevented Mr Mussa from being our guide, he quickly arranged for the intellgent, articular Eric to lead our group Eric was so compassionate and sensitive to our needs. He communicated so well with other guides, so we could get to see the very best of the falls, and all the animals this NP has to offer. The last morning, Eric went out of his way to make sure we got a very close look at the lions we'd been stalking the night before. We found the 2 females, sleeping off the kill and feasting from the night before. Seeing them, stretch and wake and yawn and sleep some more was an experience of a life time. Eric made it happen, with difnity, grace and total respect for the cycle of life we had jus experienced.

Mussa and Yonah are the best! This has been the best vacation we’ve ever had. We spent 6 days with Paradise Adventure Vacations, and every part of our time met or exceeded our expectations. The biggest reason people come to Uganda is to see the great apes, and it was really important for us to see chimpanzees as well as gorillas. Very few groups specialized in this, and Paradise did a great job making sure we were able to see both. We have two children that are technically too young to trek gorilla, but Paradise helped us make sure our kids could have this experience. Their pricing was exceptionally reasonable, especially since it covered all the park fees and permits.
The best part of this trip was our guides Mussa and Yonah. We worked with 6 guides during our stay in Africa, and these two were the most fun and had the biggest personality. They also worked the hardest of anyone to make us feel valued and welcome at every step of our journey. It was wonderful to get to know them. Mussa and Yonah were constantly going above and beyond to make the trip amazing, and even changed some of our accommodations on the fly once they got to know us, and put us places that met our interests better than the official itinerary. It was clear they knew their stuff, and they were great ambassadors for Uganda.
We asked for mid-range lodging, and the places we stayed at were all great. We’re so glad we had an opportunity to travel with Paradise Adventure Vacations, and we recommend them highly! Thank you so much!

Amazing 2 Week Uganda Trip! My husband & I went on a 2 week trip around Uganda with Paradise Adventure Vacations and had an amazing time. Our driver Baker was very knowledgeable and kind, and they had all the details figured out for us to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Musa was very kind in answering all of our pre-trip questions, making sure we had good quality accommodations, and arranging our COVID tests. Highlights were Murchison Falls NP, Kibale NP (chimpanzee trekking), Queen Elizabeth NP (lion tracking), Bwindi NP (gorilla trekking), Lake Bunyonyi, and Lake Mburo NP.

Best travel company in Uganda What an amazing gorilla trek in Uganda provided! I traveled with my friend, both of us being two middle-age women, for a 10-day trip around Uganda. The main focus for our trip to Uganda was to experience the mountain gorillas, but it ended up being so much more. To say that it was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement.
There are many companies to choose from when traveling to Uganda, but now having experienced the trip and being able to witness many tour companies along the way, reasons I would highly recommend paradise adventure vacations is their communication, organization and passion.

The communication was amazing. Faridah is the United States representative while mussa is the coordinator in Uganda. Both encouraged us to contact them with any and all questions and concerns, which we did. Before the trip we wrote (and called) numerous, numerous times with many questions and every single time our emails and calls were returned quickly with thorough answers to all our questions. Mussa is wonderful, but it was nice to have faridah as the United Representative to be able to call and talk with. After traveling to Uganda, I am more aware of the level of organization needed for this type of trip. Not only the lodge for accommodations but also permits needed for every game park, as well as the gorilla and chimpanzee permits and many small details I would not have even thought of. Paradise adventure vacations took of every detail seamlessly. Even when our airline changed our return tickets to a later day at the last minute, (do NOT use Turkish Airlines!!), mussa quickly was able to get us accommodations and a park permit for an extra day.
