Our four days serengeti migration safari
a chance to see the incredible movement of tens of thousands of wildebeest in Serengeti. Migration
safari is undoubtedly one of the greatest wildlife events in the world. The animals make rounds through
Serengeti following the grass that grows with the periodic rains.
To make sure you don’t miss the migration it is very important to know the time and place where they are
located throughout the year.
Prepare for the day when you will visit the oldest ecosystem on earth, a perfect blend of animals and ancient land. Your journey from Arusha will take around 7 hours but rest assured you will not get bored as you will pass some amazing places and have plenty of time to rest and enjoy. The Serengeti is one of the most visited parks in Africa due to its beautiful nature and the presence of a wide variety of animals including the Big Five. During an afternoon game drive, you will reach the central Serengeti. If you are lucky, you might even see the elusive cheetah on your first day of safari. Spend the night in one of the lodges/camps and get ready for another adventure the next day
Another day to enjoy your migration. Grab your breakfast early and proceed to explore the Serengeti plains. Depending on the time of the year, your safari guide will drive you to the area where migration is happening. A full day on Serengeti is filled with adventure. There is a lot to see apart from the great migration. Serengeti is the capital city of the big five alongside other wildlife animals. your day will end with a drive back to the lodge or campsite.
After breakfast, embark on another full-day tour of the Serengeti plains following the footsteps of the Great Migration. Our experienced tour guide will provide you with interesting facts about this highly famous event that makes Tanzania the premier safari destination in Africa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti is home to around 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson's gazelles joining the wildebeest trek in search of fresh grass. Hear the exotic sounds of over six million hooves pounding across the open plains. This is how you imagined Africa!
After an early breakfast you will commence your journey to ngorongoro crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. Almost 25,000 large animals live in the crater; you will feast your eyes on large mammals like black rhinoceros, the Cape buffalo and the third largest type of land mammal the hippopotamus. After having an adventurous day, picnic lunch will be offered and you will later departure to moshi/arusha.
Although the movement is not consistent due to rapid weather changes there are still regular months that the migration tends to be in Serengeti. The particular location to be visited will be determined depend on your booking dates. The following are summary in group of migration movements.
Each year around January the migration movement tends to be around the southern parts of Serengeti and the northern part of Ngorongoro conservation area. The grasses around the area are nutritious making the place perfect for raising newborns. Migration safari here offers mesmerizing views of how the mothers tend to their young cubs and protects them from vicious predators.
After having their young ones in February and march, the wildebeest starts moving towards the northwest part of Serengeti. The movement leads the fresher grass of the central Serengeti. By may majority of animals gather around the Moru kopjes. the mating season happens around the end of may as the journey proceeds towards the western corridor of Serengeti where they meet the grumeti river.
As the month of June approaches the large concentration of wildebeest gather around the banks of grumeti river. Each animal will have to face their first challenge of crossing the crocodile infested river. At the beginning of July most of the animals proceeds towards the northern part of Serengeti. this time they will have to face even a bigger obstacle of crossing the mara river. The river crossing usually starts at the onset of high season in July, but time may vary according to weather changes
By august most of the herds have faced the challenge of crossing the mara river and spread throughout the Masai mara northern region. In years when the river is in full flow, the panic and confusion at the crossings — combined with waiting predators and surging currents — can cause massive loss of life. But, even in years of relatively gently flowing water, the crocs take their toll, not to mention the lions and other large predators that patrol the banks, ready to ambush any wildebeest that make it to the other side.
After brief East African rains in late October and early November, wildebeest descend from Kenya into the eastern reaches of the Serengeti beyond the Namiri Plains, an area known for the exceptional presence of cheetahs Sightings. In December they are distributed along the eastern and southern sections
