Wildebeest Migration Tracker Update: July – August 2025
Experience the Pulse of the Serengeti with SafariBando
As July rolled in, the vast herds of wildebeest and zebras surged into the Northern Serengeti, particularly around the Kogatende and Lamai areas. This period marks one of the most dramatic chapters of the migration — the Mara River crossings. Visitors in July witnessed incredible scenes: massive columns of wildebeest plunging into crocodile-infested waters, only to emerge triumphant on the other side, continuing their relentless journey north.
Now in August, the spectacle continues in full force. Most of the herds are still concentrated in the Northern Serengeti, with some spilling into the Masai Mara in Kenya. River crossings are frequent, and predators such as lions, leopards, and crocodiles are on high alert, offering unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities.
This is peak migration season — a time when the Serengeti truly comes alive with movement, energy, and raw survival drama.
Key Highlights
- Kogatende & Lamai are migration hotspots right now.
- Daily river crossings offer thrilling moments for safari-goers.
- Predator action is intense — perfect for photography lovers.
- Game drives are at their most rewarding during this time.
What’s Next?
By late August to early September, the herds will begin turning south slowly, grazing the northern plains before preparing for their return to the central and eastern Serengeti in the coming months.
