The annual wildbeest Migration Pattern

The Monthly Migratory Patterns:

Due to varying weather conditions and other such factors, the Migration can differ in its location at any time of the year. However a general prediction for the Migratory pattern month-by-month can be summarised as follows:


  • In January herds of the wildebeest are to be found in the southern Serengetion on the short-grass plains.
  • In February the Migration has spread out across the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti.
  • In March the Migration is now spread across southern Serengeti, Loliondo and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
  • In April the migrating herds start moving north through the areas of the Moru Kopjes and Seronera.
  • In May the Migration heads north through Seronera towards the Western Corridor.
  • In June the Migration collects in the area of the western corridor before crossing the Grumeti River.
  • In July the Migration continues to cross the Grumeti and across the Grumeti Reserve.
  • In August the Migration continues up into the far north-west of the Serengeti National Park.
  • In September wildebeest herds in the north of Serengeti National Park and in the Maasai Mara.
  • In October wildebeest grazing in the far north of the Serengeti - and across in the Mara.
  • In November the Migration starts its first trek south through Loliondo and via the eastern extremities of the Serengeti National Park.
  • In December the Migration arrives at the short-grass plains, in time for the rains
