In December, shortly after the onset of rain, the monumental spectacle of the great wildebeest migration unfolds on the short-grass plains of Central Serengeti. Following an eventful journey that involves crossing the Masai Mara, millions of wildebeests make their way back to the Southern and Central Serengeti. The migrating herds exhibit remarkable speed as they move southward, covering the distance to the Southern Plains in a matter of days.
This period offers a breathtaking opportunity to witness millions of large animals, primarily wildebeests and zebras, gathering and traversing the Central Serengeti with their calves. The great wildebeest migration in December is an extraordinary experience, providing an awe-inspiring spectacle of nature’s grandeur. The sheer magnitude of these resilient animals, which have endured numerous challenges and predators along their migration journey, is an unbelievable sight to behold.
Observing this migration in the Central Serengeti during December allows you to witness firsthand the strength and determination of these creatures, making it an unforgettable and awe-inspiring encounter with the wonders of the natural world.
