During the Migration Calving Season in the Serengeti, from January to March, the Great Migration reaches its zenith. Large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores gather to give birth on the rich, fertile plains. This season brings the raw beauty of nature into focus, with newborn wildebeests taking their first steps amidst the watchful eyes of predators. The scene is a vivid representation of the cycle of life, showcasing both the fragility and resilience of wildlife in an awe-inspiring display of nature’s drama.
In June and July, a remarkable event unfolds as millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate to fresher grazing lands. Their journey involves a dramatic and perilous river crossing, where they face the dangers of crocodiles and strong currents. The sight of these animals assembling at the riverbanks, followed by the intense and chaotic river crossing, highlights their determination and will to survive. The Migration Crossing Season is a powerful testament to the strength and endurance of wildlife as they navigate the relentless challenges of the natural world.
