Most people think that the Wildebeest Migration only takes place between July and October, but it’s actually an ever moving, circular migration with various but equally exciting events that occur year round. The popular river crossings usually coincide with safari’s high season (June to October), hence the perception that this is the only time of the year that the wildebeest are on the move or can be seen. Below the table indicates the location of the migration, week by week.
