Video of the migration in the Serengeti in September (2010).
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 in the Masai Mara
The Mara River is still flowing strongly and the Masai Mara is green and supporting huge herds of wildebeest and zebra. The herds are crossing the Mara River on a daily basis, often unsuccessfully. Carcass can be seen dragged down the fast flowing river.
The herds are in the central Masai Mara and northern Serengeti. It looks like they will remain here for a few weeks more, at least until the grasslands turn dry and they start to get drawn south towards the Serengeti in search of better pastures.
The best camps at this time are the camps around the Mara River or Talek River or northern Serengeti:
Masai Mara Camps:
Mara Intrepid Camp
Governor's Camp
Olonana Tented Camp
Serengeti Camps:
Klein's Camp
Serengeti Under Canvas
