Understanding the incredible journey of 1.5 million wildebeest
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of nature's most spectacular events, driven by powerful survival instincts and environmental factors. This continuous, year-round journey follows ancient routes established over thousands of years.
Wildebeest follow the rains to find nutrient-rich grasses. They consume approximately 4,500 tons of grass daily, constantly moving to find fresh pastures.
The migration follows seasonal rainfall patterns. Wildebeest can detect rain from up to 50km away and will travel toward these life-giving water sources.
Southern Serengeti's short grass plains provide ideal calving grounds. Over 500,000 calves are born in 2-3 weeks, taking advantage of predator-sparse areas.
The constant movement facilitates genetic mixing between different herds, strengthening the population against diseases and environmental changes.
Constant movement prevents predators from establishing permanent territories. The sheer numbers provide safety through collective vigilance.
The migration follows a precise annual clock synchronized with East Africa's wet and dry seasons, ensuring optimal conditions throughout the year.
