Wildebeests migration
The migration starts from around Ngorongoro conservation area, Olduvai Gorge, Ndutu and Saloi plains of Tanzania where calving takes place with thousands of wildebeests born on a daily basis though not all of them make it as predators wait patiently for the vulnerable ones to prey on.
The wildebeests then start to move to Serengeti plains and Grumeti rivers before starting to cross the great Mara river in July. Danger lurks within the rivers as crocodiles wait to grab a meal, the herds spread across Masai Mara plains throughout the peak season and start their journey back to Tanzania in October.
