Every year around the same time, the wildebeest migration begins in the Ngorongoro Area in the southern Serengeti and loops in a clockwise direction through the Serengeti National Park and north towards the Masai Mara in Kenya and comes about by the availability of grass. The first movement happens from January to March when the babies are born a time abundance in grasslands and first 260,000 zebras then about 1.6 million wildebeest followed by approximately half million other grazers.

In February, wildebeest spend their time in the southern grass plains and give birth to about half million calves in a 3-weeks period. The rains end in May,  and the movement starts north into the Grumeti River area and stays until early July. The wildebeest cross of the Grumeti & Mara rivers is in July and a traditional safari spectacle. The herds move into Kenya and wait until rain in November and then move South again covering over 820 km back to the calving grounds.

The Serengeti is also home to a diversity of grazers, including African buffalo, warthogs, Grant's gazelle, eland, waterbuck. The reserve can support this remarkable variety of grazers only because of each species, even those that are closely related, have a diverse diet.
