Welcome to Tanzania

Located south of the equator, Tanzania has an average altitude of 1018 meters above sea level with the highest point being 5895 meters above sea level. This gives Tanzania a relatively good climate ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius.

The country has a great deal of wild game in her national parks and reserves making it ideal for a memorable safari. The country also is a home to the rooftop of Africa, the Kilimanjaro mountains which is snowcapped all year round thus favoring the mountain hikers to enjoy the glaciers on their expedition.

The country has a variety of national parks like Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and the world-famous Serengeti which offer Tourists the opportunity to see Africa’s big five as well as countless other animals that cannot be met elsewhere in the world. You will as well meet the Masai people and interact and know more about their culture as well as a visit to the Cradle of Mankind at Olduvai Gorge. We can not forget the beautiful Zanzibar, a magnificent island retreat whose rich cultural history is every bit as fascinating as its jungles and beaches. 

WONDERS OF SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

1

Great Migration cycle

Serengeti is one of the great national parks that offers spectacular game drives with also a wonder of Wildebeest Migration as one of the nature's biggest spectacles on the African continent.
During the Serengeti Safari, it is important to know the best times for the migration of wild beests because they move in an anticlockwise direction with the zebras. They are sighted around Grumeti river around June while the months of July to October they are in Masai mara. The Great Migration is an annual migration of wildebeest from the Ndutu region of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara in southern Kenya.
The wildebeest calving season begins (December-March) It is also an opportune time for predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and even hyenas to feast on calves. When the rains end in April and May, the zebra begin the process of heading north towards the Maasai Mara showing the way for wildebeests to follow them.
The endless herds cross the Grumeti River in June & July and the Mara River between August and November. Once the crossings are complete, the herd settles in the Maasai Mara in southern Kenya.

The Migration Pattern

The rainfall patterns will determine the exact timing of the Great Wildebeest Migration making it a difficult thing to predict with any certainty. Heavy or light rainfall might completely alter the movement of the massive herd, so it is best to get daily updates leading in to your trip.

January to March

In the months of January to march, life springs fourth to the world for a good population of animals in the Ndutu region of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The calving season springs life to half a million young wildebeest brought coming into the world due to the rainy season combining with the fertile volcanic soil of the region to create a lush carpet of short grass rich in essential vitamins. It is here that the vast herd begins to take shape, and it is here that the predators begin their yearlong assault upon the herd. With so many young and weak calves stumbling around, it becomes easy for the lions, leopards, and cheetahs to feel the delicacy.

April to May

As the the wet season comes to an end in the south of the Serengeti, the heard will begin heading northwards & it’s at this stage that close to 1.7 million wildebeest, 470,000 species of antelope, and 250,000 zebras will attract a collection of predators who will trek along with them for the entire journey. The great movement usually passes through the Seronera region of the Serengeti at this stage, and with so many young and inexperienced members of the herd, the predators have a sweet delicacy.
5

June to July

Between these months, the heard will encounter the first major obstacle, the Grumeti river. The heard will shift direction and treks towards Africa’s largest freshwater lake in search of sustenance. Some of the most spectacular images of the predator-prey relationship are captured in and around Grumeti river, with both the big cats and the Nile crocodiles seizing upon this opportunity to strike at the increasingly desperate members of the herd. The Grumeti is home to the largest Nile crocodile population in the region, and these opportunistic predators take the chance. Once the heard has successfully navigated the river amidst strong obstacles and the predator, the herd can spend some time feeding on the Musabi and Masira grass plains until they head northwards.
6

August to November

Through out this time, the heard will proceed northwards towards Maasai Mara National Park. There is no specific schedule for these animals in their movement, they will only meander slowly towards the Mara River which happens to be their next big obstacle in their path. The Mara River poses another deadly obstacle for the herd, who must be brave and act decisively to the waters and the opportunistic predators if they are to find safety on the far side of the river. It is at this point that Photographers and documentarians from around the world gather to witness the crossing of life and death at the Kogatende crossing.

December

Having spent time in the greener pastures of Maasai Mara since september, the great herd will now begin the process of returning to the calving area in the southern Serengeti, the long way must be trekked again and rivers crossed, but now the calves are now grown ups and the heard is well prepared for the journey back to the far south.
