Watch: The latest Great Migration updates
June and July are very important months in the Great Migration. As the long rains come to an end, the wildebeest begin moving more urgently towards the Masai Mara in Kenya. In their path is the Grumeti river; located in the Western Corridor in the Serengeti, Tanzania.
Teeming with hungry crocodiles, territorial hippos and shrewd predators, the Grumeti River becomes a major obstacle in the wildebeests’ path. Life is not easy. Mating has begun and the calves born in February and March are an easy target.
The Grumeti River crossing is by no means the end of the journey; the infamous Mara River still lies in their path, often considered the pinnacle of the migration.
