East Africa wildebeest map explored
East Africa wildebeest map explored- Every year, millions of wildebeest share their homes with zebras, antelopes, impalas, gazelles, and elands. They trek the fair, also known as the Serengeti Mara ecosystem, and they do this because of the rainfall patterns that lead to a change in the pastures for these animals. The great wildebeest migration is triggered by the movement for fresh pasture and water.
The movement starts and ends in the southern Tanzanian areas of the Ndutu areas, and it is continuous. Africa’s wildebeest map will direct you and give you a better understanding of exactly what happens during the movement and where these animals pass to ensure that when you are planning to come to Africa for the wildebeest migration, you will know exactly how these animals behave and where exactly they happen and the areas or sessions where they do pass.
The wildebeest migration in Africa only happens in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Serengeti National Park is home to the majority of the wildebeest migration, which takes place and is enjoyed by visitors.
Our Africa’s wildebeest map exploration will indicate and show you where the wildebeest migration will be every month of the year. This is helpful for your better planning of the safari, and thus you will need to read and understand the map. Where possible, you will ask where you don’t understand because we are available to help you have wonderful memories of your African wildebeest safari experience. Therefore, today we look at each month and the map to see where the wildebeest migration will be stationed.
Africa’s wildebeest map in January: If you are interested in spotting this great movement, you will have to stay in the southern part of the Serengeti National Park and again in the northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. These places are characterized by short grass, and it is here that the wildebeest can be located. The wildebeest map shows that the calving season for them begins at the end of January, and it is estimated that more than 800 calves from the wildebeest migration area are born each day after lunch. In the calving season, a lot of wildlife scenes do happen with the very many calves being produced, and several predators are seen around this place as they try to grab some of the calves as the mothers and fathers try as much as possible to protect the young ones. This is very important, especially for the visitors who come to enjoy this great wildebeest migration on safari.
The Africa’s wildebeest map in February: The Wildebeest map in February indicates that the calving season continues and the mothers can still be seen shielding the newly born baby against the predators, especially the lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards, among others. Usually, the calves don’t last long after walking away from where they were born, and you will enjoy the process of calving, as, on the other hand, you get to know how the young cubs of the lions are being trained and how best they can start hunting for their survival. Still, the season is characterized by a lot of drama, with wonders abounding and other wonderful scenes.
Africa’s wildebeest Map in March: When you watch the African wildebeest map, you will come to understand that at this time in March, the wildebeest migration starts to disperse across all the plains within the southern Serengeti National Park, and in the meantime, they keep on feeding on the fresh grass. In this month, the last calves of the wildebeest migration area are born, and they are now okay to start their trek to the northern part of the Serengeti National Park in the subsequent months.
Africa’s wildebeest map in April: during April, the wildebeest migration continues to move in the northern direction, and the movement is also determined by the search for the fresh pastures and water that are determined by the rainfall patterns. In April, some of the wildest migration can be seen in the central Serengeti National Park, as some arrive much earlier than others. Some have already gone within the western Serengeti National Park, and the visitors occupying the central and western regions of the Serengeti National Park will get the opportunity to enjoy and have a look at these good animals as they continue with their journey to the Serengeti National Park.
Africa’s wildebeest map in May: In May, Africa’s wildebeest map shows the largest herd of the wildebeest in the central and western Serengeti national parks, and visitors can be seen concentrating within the Moru Kopjes and the Seronera region in its western part, as most of the wildebeest animals have been joined by the zebras and the famous gazelles. At this time, the wildebeest migration heading to the northern side of the park starts taking shape.
Africa’s wildebeest map in June: in June, it is indicated that the wildebeest concentrate mostly in the western corridor, and they keep on congregating as they jump over several channels and the water pools present within this area. Remember that this is the month when these animals are found within the southern part of the Grumeti River. The Grumeti Rivers are also infested with crocodiles, and they have become very active in the last year waiting for these animals to cross. The crossing of the rover is always a challenge as there is always a battle of wildebeest crossing the rivers as they are battling it out.
Africa’s wildebeest map in July: The wildebeest migration continues this July, and the animals can be seen scattered around the area of the Ikorongo and the Grumeti reserve, while some of the others move to the central part of the Serengeti National Park around the Seronera area. Towards the end of July, some of the dramatic scenes of the wildebeest crossing can be seen around the Mara River, but not as in big numbers as in the months to come. The huge crocodiles keep their mouths open as they wait for the wildebeest to make a cross. This event has been clearly shown on the world channel and it has often been referred to as the World Cup of Wildlife. Therefore, you don’t need to miss these dramatic scenes of such events, which are very wonderful.
Africa’s wildebeest map in August: in August, the great Mara crossings do continue and visitors will be able to see a lot of the wildebeests joined with the zebras, elands, and the Kudu moving through the river to the nearby Masai Mara Game reserve, which is now found within Kenya. It is important to note that not only do wildebeest cross the Masai Mara National Reserve, but also those that remain feeding alongside the river banks to the south, where the most spectacular and thrilling wildlife scenes occur, which is very interesting.
Africa’s wildebeest migration map in September: sometimes September is the day of celebrations as one of the wildebeest is happily in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya after they have fully crossed the river unharmed, while others become victims as they are eaten by the several predators on their way to the Masai Mara National Reserve. The river crossing doesn’t happen just for one day, but it can as well go for the whole week from August 1st to the end of September, and this still depends on the pattern of the rivers.
Africa’s wildebeest map in October: this is the month where you will enjoy all of the wildebeest animals and others in your company, such as the zebras, wildebeest, antelopes, kudus, and gazelles. Africa’s wildebeest map in October shows that some of the wildebeest stay within the Masai Mara National Reserve for a few days, as others do move further southwards, and this is fascinating.
Africa’s wildebeest migration map in November: in the middle of November, heavy rains start within the Masai Mara National Reserve and this is the point at which the wildebeest start moving southwards and they vacate the Masai Mara National Reserve. Africa’s wildebeest map in November shows that the wildebeest vacate the Masai Mara National Reserve via the Loliondo in its western part and also through the Lobo areas of the Serengeti National Park. They also move in the herds as they return to their fertile land, full of endless plains.
Africa’s wildebeest map in December: December is the last month of the year and this is the time when the wildebeest herds cling to the southern regions and the north-eastern sides of the Serengeti National Park. Once they are herded, they scatter across the region to feed on the fresh grass as they prepare for the calving season in January, and the cycle continues.
You do not need to worry because the wildebeest migration happens daily, and by following our Africa’s wildebeest map for each month, you will be able to learn more and experience the wildebeest migration in either Serengeti National Park or Masai Mara National Reserve.
