As of today, out of season, returns ~May. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Grumeti River crossing is a pivotal event in the Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeest navigate the perilous waters, often infested with crocodiles, to continue their journey in search of fresh grazing grounds.
This spectacle typically occurs between late May and early June, marking the herds' movement from the southern to the northern Serengeti.
The exact timing can vary annually, influenced by rainfall patterns and the availability of food.
The scientific name of the wildebeest is Connochaetes taurinus.
