Huge wildebeest herd spotted in between Moru and Seronera Valley!

Wildebeest herd spotted on the move near Nyaruboro Hill!

This herd was sighted near Nyaruboro Hill in central Serengeti. It looks like most of the wildebeest herds are in central Serengeti again and should start to move west. This is a bit late on their usual route as they chased the rains east.

Massive herd spotted grazing near Simba Kopjes!

This herd was spotted near Simba Kopjes at Naabi Hill. This sighting follows the trend of wildebeest herds moving east as they follow the recent heavy rains. These wildebeests looked to be spreading even further east towards Barafu and Namiri Plains Camp. This detour might delay their arrival in Grumeti and the Mara River!

Huge wildebeest herd grazing near Gol Kopjes!

This wildebeest herd was spotted north of Gol Kopjes in the Serengeti National Park. The eastern region of Serengeti National Park saw some heavy showers, which led to lush vegetation for the migrating wildebeest herds. These rains caused the wildebeest herd to move from the south to the east instead of the west, as in previous years!
