Wildebeest arrives in southern Serengeti the first week of November and continue to arrive till the whole herd is there and that takes it up to the beginning of December. Their movement is triggered by rain that at this time has not stabilized so there are halter scatter movements between further southern Serengeti/Maswa Game Reserve and the Ndutu area of Ngorongoro Conservation. If you are truly kin to see the real deal then, you should plan your tour from the end of January to mid-March! The reason is that 75% of the adult female wildebeests give birth at this time; the southern plain of the Serengeti is filled with feasts. Very difficult to explain but it is just spectacular! You can easily witness a live chase of a cheetah or a live ambush of a lion killing its prey to a more sophisticated hunter the Hyena brutally taking a live-born baby wildebeest.
