TDuring the months April and May the depleted plains are
unable to sustain the endless herds. The migration,
sweeping west and north, moves from the short grass
plains of the southern Serengeti / Ngorongoro
Conservation Area to the long grass plains and woodland
of the Serengeti's western Corridor, almost to Lake
Victoria . This period is during the long rains and is
considered off season for wildlife viewing in east
Africa as roads are often impassable.
JUNE
By the end of May the wildebeest have exhausted the
Western Corridor's best pastures and the herds must move
further north. Entering the Lamai Wedge and the Mara
Triangle breeding occurs May through June. This is a
transitional period between the rains and the dry
season.
JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER
By July the countless herds have amassed along the
swollen Mara River - a final barrier from the short
sweet grasses of the Masai Mara. Sometimes the crossing
place they have chosen is shallow allowing the majority
of animals to pass safely. In other areas the waters
boil with drowning wildebeest and slashing crocodiles.
Between July and October the wildebeest reside in the
Mara.
