HerdTracker

HerdTracker The official page of HerdTracker - a web-app which plots the precise location of the wildebeest migration in real-time.

HerdTracker is a web-app which plots the precise location of the great wildebeest migration in real time to a Google map and in a Twitter-style timeline. HerdTracker is publicly accessible from any web browser - desktop, mobile or tablet. The precise location of the migratory herds is sourced weekly from four different trusted sources: pilots who fly over the Serengeti, safari guides on the ground

, Tanzania National Parks Authority rangers and lodges in the Masai Mara in Kenya. These trusty sources also send us exclusive images and videos of the wildebeest migration to back-up their report.

This incredible moment was captured at the border of the southern Serengeti and the Maswa Game Reserve, where a wildebeest mother gave birth to her calf.

The vast plains are alive with new life as the calving season gets underway, a critical time for the Great Migration.

This herd was sighted in the Ndutu area of the Serengeti National Park.

As mentioned, the herds are mostly in the Ndutu area and calving season in the first few months of 2025 is fast approaching. They had a long few months crossing the rivers to get to this point.

This herd was sighted near Kogatende.

As these wildebeest bravely crossed the river, they had to keep one eye open to the crocodiles swimming around them. This shows how the wildebeest always have to be awake and ready during river crossings.

This herd was sighted crossing at point number 0 on the Mara River.

Massive amounts of wildebeests were swimming through these rough waters as they tried to cross in search of rainfall. This continues the trend of the wildebeest crossing at these points. It is believed that they are crossing all over from point 0, 2, 3 and 4 simultaneously!
