Serengeti great wildebeest migration is the movement of wildebeest in the Serengeti ecosystem, accompanied by other wildlife such as Zebra, Grant’s gazelle, Thompson’s gazelle, eland, and impala. The migration route includes the Serengeti’s southern plains, the Western corridor, and the Serengeti’s northern plains. During the migration cycle, each animal travels at least 800 kilometers through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of green pasture and water. Rain determines movement; some scientists believe that the great migration is active in anticipating Thunderstorms in the distance to know where they need to go.

The Serengeti wildebeest migration is the world’s largest overland migration, characterized by two major events: the calving season and the crossing of the Mara River. The calving season in the Serengeti Southern Plains lasts from January to March, and more than 8,000 calves can be born in a single day, especially in February. From August to October, thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River, which is teeming with crocodiles, to the Maasai Mara National Reserve for mating season before returning to the Serengeti’s southern plains. The migration movement is also marked by the deaths of thousands of animals due to thirst, hunger, predator attacks, and a variety of other factors.
