6 Days Migration Western Corridor
Wildebeest Migration Highlights
April to May:
- During this period, the wildebeest migration begins to spread westward across the Serengeti plains, particularly towards the Seronera area and the Southern Plains.
- Large herds of wildebeest, along with zebras and other herbivores, are commonly seen grazing in these lush areas, taking advantage of the abundant grass and water supply.
- This time is crucial for spotting calving, as many wildebeest give birth, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of young calves.
June:
- By June, the majority of the migration shifts to the Western Corridor, where the herds prepare to cross the Grumeti River.
- This area is characterized by dense woodlands and riverine forests, which provide excellent habitats for both prey and predators.
- The Grumeti River crossings are a highlight, offering thrilling opportunities to witness the wildebeest navigating this challenging terrain, often encountering crocodiles and other predators along the way.
- June’s weather conditions can vary, affecting the timing and location of the crossings, making each experience unique and reliant on natural factors.
