By April/May the herds begin to migrate west and north to the
grassier plains and woodland of the Serengeti’s western Corridor.
By the end of May the wildebeest and zebra gradually start moving
north and individual groups begin to congregate and form much larger
herds. This is also the time the wildebeest mate. Western Serengeti is
the best place to watch the migration unfold.
By July the herds reach their first big obstacle, the Grumeti
River. The Grumeti river can get deep in places, especially if the rains
have been good. This is the first of the spectacular river crossings
you can witness.
Camps along the river during this time make for an incredible safari experience. The best places to stay include: Grumeti River Camp, and Kirawira Camp.
By November/December the rains start and the herds begin their long trek back from Kenya's Masai Mara area, down to the Serengeti plains.
During the short rains of November a stay at Klein’s Camp is highly recommended.
The great annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra starts and ends in the Serengeti National Park. The numbers of zebra are increasing every year.
