Update on the Wildebeest Migration: January, February, and March 2025
Current Location:
The wildebeest herds are spread across the southern Serengeti, particularly in the Ndutu region and parts of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This period marks the calving season, a critical phase of the migration cycle.
Activity:
- Calving Season:
Between January and March, the herds settle in areas abundant with nutrient-rich grasses, creating ideal conditions for birthing. Thousands of calves are born daily during this time.
- Predator Interaction:
The abundance of young calves attracts predators such as lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards. Wildlife enthusiasts can witness dramatic predator-prey interactions.
- Plentiful Resources:
With water and grass readily available, the herds remain relatively stationary, providing incredible opportunities for game drives and photography.
Expected Movement:
The herds will linger in the southern Serengeti through March, allowing the calves to grow stronger. As the rains wane and resources diminish, they will begin moving northward toward the central Serengeti in April.
