Migration: Seasons

The African wildebeest migration is a 7-month journey covering over 1500 kilometers across the Serengeti, following rainfall and grass growth. Starting in April, the wildebeest move north, facing challenges like dried plains and the Mara River. By October, they return south as rains come back, revitalizing the Serengeti. The cycle continues with new calves born in February.
