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 herd was sighted at Nyati Plains in the Ikorongo Game Reserve.

Wildebeest typically migrate through the Ikorongo Game Reserve from the southern Serengeti towards the western corridor and beyond. The reserve's diverse environment supports the migrating wildebeest's nutritional and shelter needs.

This herd was spotted on Musabi Plains in Grumeti.

These wildebeest enjoyed the lush grass in this area as the sun closed out another chapter in their migration journey. Grumeti is a big stop on their route before they move on to the Mara River to attempt the daunting river crossings.

This herd was sighted around Ikorongo Game Reserve, which is located in the Serengeti ecosystem adjacent to Serengeti National Park.

This reserve can serve as a corridor for migrating wildebeest as they move towards the Masai Mara in Kenya. The wildebeest move through here, as it can sometimes be too dry for them if they stay too long.

These herds were sighted around Central Seronera in Serengeti National Park.

Central Seronera is easily accessible by road and air, with Seronera Airstrip serving as a convenient entry point for safari-goers. This area is also known for its rich wildlife biodiversity, such as large populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, and elephants, which can be seen in addition to the wildebeest herds.

This herd was sighted close to Retima Picnic Site & Hippo pools near Robanda.

These wildebeest were crossing the Orangi River and enjoying the waters. Meanwhile, a bloat of hippos was lurking not too far away! One must wonder what they think of the wildebeest intruding on their territory.

This spectacular video was taken on the 8th of June 2024.

This herd was sighted near Ikoma Gate in the Serengeti National Park.

The Ikoma Gate area is known as a prime location to view the migration, particularly around June and July when the herds move from the central Serengeti to the western corridor, heading towards the Grumeti River. Wildebeest can sometimes be seen gathering here to graze on the lush grass, as captured in the video.

This amazing video was taken on the 9th of June 2024.

This herd was sighted near Moru on its way to Seronera Valley in Serengeti National Park.

The Seronera River, which runs through Seronera Valley, is crucial for wildebeest herds. It provides necessary water during their migration, which helps sustain them during their long journey.

This stunning video was taken on the 30th May 2024.

This herd was sighted near Nyaruboro Hill in central Serengeti.

It looks like most of the wildebeest herds are in central Serengeti again and should start to move west. This is a bit late on their usual route as they chased the rains east.

This herd was spotted near Simba Kopjes at Naabi Hill.

This sighting follows the trend of wildebeest herds moving east as they follow the recent heavy rains. These wildebeests looked to be spreading even further east towards Barafu and Namiri Plains Camp. This detour might delay their arrival in Grumeti and the Mara River!

This amazing video was taken on the 20th of May 2024.

This wildebeest herd was spotted north of Gol Kopjes in the Serengeti National Park.

The eastern region of Serengeti National Park saw some heavy showers, which led to lush vegetation for the migrating wildebeest herds. These rains caused the wildebeest herd to move from the south to the east instead of the west, as in previous years!

This stunning video was taken on the 18th of May 2024.

This herd was spotted near Naabi Hill in the Serengeti National Park.

These wildebeest have been enjoying the extra rain in this region of the Serengeti, which has caused them to be late to their usual destinations, such as Grumeti, this time of year.

A huge wildebeest herd was spotted around Mwaumatondo in Central Serengeti.

The Central Serengeti is a great location to see the wildebeest, as they spend some time in this area on their migration route. The herd can be followed as they make their way west and north, to cross the rivers into the Masai Mara later this year.

This stunning video was taken on the 3rd of May 2024.

A large herd of wildebeest was spotted moving through the Moru region of Serengeti National Park.

Rain plays a huge role in wildebeest movement patterns, as heavy rainfall promises lush vegetation. The wildebeest herd, therefore, depends on consistent rain in the Serengeti and Mara to complete its migration journey.

This stunning video was taken on the 15th of April 2024.

Watch how this baby zebra steals the spotlight from the wildebeest herd while they graze in the background.

Wildebeest and zebra herds often travel together, as wildebeest have a great sense of hearing, and zebras have amazing eyesight, which makes them strong allies as they face many predators on their journeys.

These zebras and wildebeest were sighted in Moru, near the Kopjes in Serengeti National Park.

This heartwarming video was taken on the 2nd of April 2024.

A massive herd of wildebeest and zebras was spotted in the central area of Serengeti National Park.

A group of people experienced this magical scene while on their safari. Wildebeest and zebras are herbivores and can be docile around humans unless provoked or if it is calving season, as they can be quite protective of their young.

Do not be afraid to see The Great Migration yourself one day, as it is truly a must-see in person!

This herd was spotted moving near Ndutu in Serengeti National Park.

The great migration usually comes to the Ndutu area around late December and can stay here until April!

They come to this region to give birth to their calves, as the grass in Ndutu is rich in nutrients for these growing wildebeest. The short grass in this region also allows adult wildebeest to spot predators easily.

This stunning video was taken on the 9th of March 2024.
