why do wildebeest migrate

Wildebeest migrate primarily to follow the seasonal rains, which bring fresh grass and water essential for their survival. This migration is driven by the need to find food and water as they move through the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems in search of nutritious grazing lands. The availability of fresh grass after rains dictates their movement, and the migration is a continuous, cyclical journey covering hundreds of kilometers. Along the way, wildebeest face numerous dangers such as predators and river crossings but keep moving to sustain their populations and the ecosystem.
