The Serengeti shows nature’s strength. Wildebeest move. Zebras join. Grass grows. Life flows.
The animals move. They meet rain and sun. They seek water. They follow green grass.
The Migratory Cycle: A Clockwise Journey
The cycle turns with rain. Animals need water. The herd moves about 800 km. Rain and grass guide each step.
1. December to April (Calving Season):
The journey starts in the south. Wildebeest gather. Calves come. About 400,000 young are born. New life attracts predators. Danger meets life.
2. May to July (The March North):
The long rains end. The herd moves north. They face the Grumeti River. Crocodiles wait. The river crossing is tense. Danger knits with hope.
3. August to September (Mara River Crossings):
The herd nears the Mara River. They rush to cross. The animals crowd and move fast. Lions and crocodiles also move. Life and risk join on the bank.
4. October to November (Return Journey):
The rain stops. The animals turn south. They find old paths. Life circles back. The journey closes its loop.
