The Great Wildebeest Migration moves through the Serengeti and Masai Mara National Parks. We track their progress. The migration path varies from year to year depending on weather and other environmental factors. The blog is the simpliest way to get an understanding of the movements based on recent past movement patterns.

Migration starting to move
The main migration herds are still around Ndutu, but a number of large pockets of wildebeest have started moving west and north west.
As the rains start to dissipate more of the herds will start leaving the southern Serengeti.
The best camps to be based at the moment are:
Premium camps -
Kusini tented camp
Tanzania under Canvas
Economy private tented camps -
Mobile private tented camp: A great choice for safari enthusiasts who want to see the migration without the need for all the superfluos luxuries.

Rain in Ndutu
There has been a lot of rain around Ndutu, Masek and the Ngorongoro slopes. This is keeping the main wildebeest herds in the southern Serengeti. There are lots of foals getting stronger for the journey north.
A safari at this time of year is always challenging as the roads are muddy and a number of them have been closed by the rangers. Game viewing is excellent with huge herds across the plains and plenty of predators tracking them.
The best place to be based is for a safari is around Ndutu, Kusini or Seronera.
