MONTH BY MONTH THE SERENGETI WILDEBEEST
MIGRATION

• The short rains begin around early November. A
  little after this, in late November and December,
  the herds of the wildebeest migration arrive on
  the short-grass plains of the Serengeti. These
  are south and east of Seronera, around Ndutu and
  include the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation
  Area. Dispersed across these plains, wildebeest
  and zebra are everywhere feeding on the fresh,
  nutritious grasses. They stay here
  through January, February and March, with most
  wildebeest calves born in a short window around
  February. Gradually they spread west across these
  plains, then around April they start their great
  migration north.

• By May the Serengetis wildebeest all seem to be
  moving north, migrating to seek fresh grazing and
  water. The area around Moru Kopjes and west of
  Seronera is then hectic with a series of moving
  columns, often containing hundreds of thousands
  of animals joined by many zebra, and a
  scattering of Thomsons and Grants
  gazelles.Some of the migration then head due
  north of Seronera, but most are usually further
  west. Around June the wildebeest migration is
  often halted on the south side of the Grumeti
  River, which has some channels which block or
  slow their migration north. The wildebeest then
  congregate there, in the Western Corridor, often
  building up to a high density before crossing the
  river.

• The river here is normally a series of pools and
  channels, but its not continuous and so whilst
  they always represent an annual feast for the
  Grumeti Rivers large crocodiles, these arent
  usually quite as spectacular as the crossings of
  the Mara River, further north.
• The wildebeest migration continues moving
  northwards during July and August, often
  spreading out across a broad front some heading
  through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo, others
  north through the heart of the Serengeti National
  Park.

• September sees the herds spread out across the
  northern Serengeti, where the Mara River provides
  the migration with its most serious obstacle.
  This river gushes through the northern Serengeti
  from Kenyas adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
  Watching the frantic herds of the wildebeest
  migration crossing the Mara River can be very
  spectacular there are often scenes of great
  panic and confusion. Its common to see herds
  cross the Mara River north on one day, and then
  back south a few days later. 
• By October the wildebeest herds are migrating
  again with more accord all are heading south,
  through western Loliondo and the Serengeti
  National Parks Lobo area, returning to the green
  shoots which follow the rains on the short-grass
  plains of the southern Serengeti in November.
• Then the whole Serengeti Wildebeest migration
  starts again
