Wildebeest spotted near Ndabaka Gate in Western Serengeti

HerdTracker update 09 Jun 2025 by Mawe Lodges

This herd was spotted by a game drive near Ndabaka Gate in the Western Serengeti. They might head towards the rivers soon and begin to cross! Wildebeest may cross the same river multiple times in a season or use different crossing points along the river’s length. This back-and-forth movement is typically driven by localised rainfall and the subsequent growth of fresh grass.

This video was taken by Mawe Lodges on 9 June 2025.
