Serengeti National park

After Ruaha National Park, Serengeti is Tanzania’s second largest national park. The recreation center is located about 320 kilometers northwest of Arusha, on a high plateau between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Kenya/Tanzania border, spanning nearly to Lake Victoria in the west. As you enter the southeastern fields of the recreation facility from Ngorongoro, you immediately encounter this immeasurability, aptly termed “infinite fields” by the Maasai populace.

There is a diverse scenery, including farmland, lakes, slopes, and kopjes (stone outcrops). The Serengeti’s most important game-drive areas are the Seronera Valley, the Western Corridor, and the Lobo, or northern Serengeti. The Seronera valley in the center Serengeti, which is loaded with long-lasting surface water, continually attracts a massive concentration of wild life. Lions, bison, impalas, hippos, waterbucks, elephants, cheetahs, and the panther are some of the common animals observed here. From December, when the winter rains begin, through May, the eastern Serengeti grasslands offer the best opportunities for game surveying, since a large number of transient species congregate here.

Thousands of wildebeest migrate southwest, north, or west in search of water and greener fields between May and July, when the dry season kicks in. During the dry months of August to November, when the majority of the game has moved south to the grasslands, the Lobo region remains abundant in natural life. This is also true for the Western Corridor, which leads to Lake Victoria, where the relocation usually takes place between June and July.

What To Expect

WILDEBEEST MIGRATION IN THE SERENGETI

The amazing Serengeti wildebeest movement sees massive herds of wildebeest join forces with massive herds of zebra, as well as smaller herds of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala.

Every year, around 1,000,000 wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle migrate clockwise across the Serengeti-Maasai Mara habitat, making it one of the world’s most spectacular annual events. Tanzania (Serengeti National Park) and Kenya are both involved in the project (Maasai Mara).

The growth is yearly, which is unsurprising given that it is entirely dependent on annual precipitation patterns. They move around a lot, looking for fresh brushing, the right time to give birth, and the right place to mate.

Wildebeest Migrations Seasons

From December to March, the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu) is active

Every year, this is where the incredible move begins. During the green season, the wildebeest and zebra herds can be seen in large numbers. On these fields, between late January and March, a considerable number of calves (about 1,000,000) are born. During these months, there is also a plethora of hunters who are lured to the herds and their calves.

Around April, Seronera (Central Serengeti) begins.

The parties begin their journey north, passing through Moro Kopjes and Seronera along the way, where they locate new water and brushing grounds. During the month of May, the Seronera region is densely populated, and you can view a large number of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles.

Wildebeest migrate west of Seronera towards Lake Victoria during the breeding season in May and June. When you’re at Seronera, you’ll notice a lot of guys fighting each other for females.

From July to October, the Kogatende (Northern Serengeti) is in full swing.

Because of the presence of voracious crocodiles and a fast-flowing canal, wildebeest and zebras find it most difficult and dangerous to cross the Mara river banks. There is a battle of life and death between hunters and prey, and this emotional crossroads occurs frequently as crowds cross the Mara River. In October, the migration returns to the southern Serengeti, passing via Loliondo and the Lobo region on its way to the Southern Serengeti, where the cycle begins all over again.
