A large herd of wildebeest was spotted moving through the Moru region of Serengeti National Park. Rain plays a huge role in wildebeest movement patterns, as heavy rainfall promises lush vegetation. The wildebeest herd, therefore, depends on consistent rain in the Serengeti and Mara to complete its migration journey.

Watch how this baby zebra steals the spotlight from the wildebeest herd while they graze in the background. Wildebeest and zebra herds often travel together, as wildebeest have a great sense of hearing, and zebras have amazing eyesight, which makes them strong allies as they face many predators on their journeys. These zebras and wildebeest were sighted in Moru, near the Kopjes in Serengeti National Park.

A massive herd of wildebeest and zebras was spotted in the central area of Serengeti National Park. A group of people experienced this magical scene while on their safari. Wildebeest and zebras are herbivores and can be docile around humans unless provoked or if it is calving season, as they can be quite protective of their young. Do not be afraid to see The Great Migration yourself one day, as it is truly a must-see in person!

A wildebeest herd was spotted near Gol Kopjes in the Serengeti National Park. Wildebeest play a vital role in the ecosystem, as their grazing helps prevent overgrowth of the vegetation. As the wildebeest continue moving on their route, their waste fertilizes the soil and replenishes the vegetation for other wildebeest and animals.

This herd was spotted moving near Ndutu in Serengeti National Park. The great migration usually comes to the Ndutu area around late December and can stay here until April! They come to this region to give birth to their calves, as the grass in Ndutu is rich in nutrients for these growing wildebeest. The short grass in this region also allows adult wildebeest to spot predators easily.

This wildebeest calf and its mother were spotted near Ndutu. Most wildebeest calves will have to suckle on their mother for around four months, but they can also start eating grass in around 10 days. The calf usually stays around its mother until the next year’s newborn arrives. It is important for wildebeest calves to quickly build up their strength soon after birth so they can easily slot into the larger herd.
