It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event, with calving \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  season taking place in the Serengeti between January and mid-March. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  wildebeest migration starts to head towards the Western Serengeti in May or \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  June. The best time to see the migration is generally between June and August \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  when the wildebeest congregate and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are in the Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  their arrival as early as July, but they generally arrive between August &amp; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  September and remain in the Masai Mara between October &amp; November. Between \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  the end of November and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  from the Masai Mara back towards the Serengeti.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,helvetica,arial; font-size: x-small;\">For details:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.africaguide.com\/travel\/index.php?cmd=5&amp;pid=1691\">http:\/\/www.africaguide.com\/travel\/index.php?cmd=5&amp;pid=1691<\/a><\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><br \/>\n<input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"jsCall();\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wildebeest Migration in East Africa, also known as \u201cThe Great Migration\u201d takes place between Tanzania&#8217;s Serengeti National Park and Kenya&#8217;s Masai Mara and is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet.
