May Wildebeest Migration – Serengeti’s Natural Marvel

Prior preparation is undertaken by wildebeest species that migrate from the western circuit of the Serengeti. Some proceed north to the Seronera corridor, while others go to the Ndoha and Dutwa plains near the Mbalageti River. The month ends when they are fully settled in the narrow wedge of isolated land between Mbalageti and Grumeti, all set to cross and return to the north to establish their territories. During this period, the rains have decreased, signaling the onset of the dry season. This also means that the water levels in the water bodies are decreasing, allowing them to cross without drowning, though, as usual, they encounter carnivorous crocodiles that kill many and leave others with injuries, unsure of their survival tomorrow. Some specialists claim that these animal species move in response to the weather. When the grass in the Serengeti is depleted during the dry season, they move to Masai Mara, where there is still ample pasture for all the herds and enough water to quench their thirst. That’s how astonishing these species are. However, these are just theories and have not been scientifically proven.

The Migration in May

The migration occurs in Serengeti, located in Tanzania, known for its variety of wildlife species, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, lizards, snakes, to name a few. Tourists can participate in various activities, such as:

  • Bush meals (serving both local and foreign foods based on individual orders, with first-class services provided to everyone)
  • Horse riding (guided by a tour guide armed with a gun for safety in the field)
  • Hot air balloon rides (fly beyond the skies and experience the stunning bird’s-eye view of different animal species)
  • Nature walks, and many more

Travelers can book nearby accommodations that offer views of numerous animals, including the Porini Lion by Camp, known for its fine and delicious meals, and Saruni Mara, hidden in a secret valley of olive and cedar trees, offering relaxing spa treatments in tranquil well-being spaces.

Every story has an ending, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning. Begin your new journey in the serene Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, and embark on new dreams and adventures.
