BEST MONTHS IN TANZANIA
February
February is one of the best months to witness the migration of the wildebeest in the Southern Serengeti Plains for this is the time of the year for the spectacular calving season where more than 8,000 calves are born everyday over a 2 week period from mid February. This also represents an amazing opportunity for lurking predators.
June
June marks the end of the rainy season and this is the time when the young calves gets stronger and the adults more mobile as they push north towards the Grumeti Reserve where the front herd reaches the Mbalageti River in June while the tail end are still in the Lake Magadi region or on the southern side of the Nyamuma and Simiti Hills.
July
July is the beginning of the mating season as well as the start of the Mara River crossing. As the dry season approaches, the first herds pushes past the Mara River and into the Masai Mara National Park while the majority will be waiting for their turn in the Northern Serengeti region.
WHERE YOU SHOULD BE
Click Here To Read More The world's largest intact volcanic caldera is home to over 30,000 animals with a pleasant microclimate, rich soil and proximity to Lake Magadi, nearby Lake Manyara and Lake Eyasi which offers plentiful grazing, waters for survival and is perfect for the calving migration in February and the Great Migration from late June to September. With some number of animals "trapped" within the crater, this is a consistent spot for year-round big game viewing.
Click Here To Read More Perhaps the most dramatic and documented region of the Great Migration and the stuff of National Geographic documentaries. Each year from late June, the first herds will attempt to cross the Mara River followed by thousands behind. Not all will survive. Some will drown, many will perish under the stampede and some will be victims to the crocodiles and for those who makes it to the opposite bank, it is just another obstacle completed.
Click Here To Read More The Grumeti Reserves provides an ideal replenishing ground - ideal time from May to June where the herds graze in bulk before the eventual crossing of the Mara River and on to the Masai Mara National Park.
Click Here To Read More Relatively obscure, quiet and away from the noisy action taking place in much of the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro, Tarangire National Park is home to an abundance of elephant population and there are not many better places in Africa where you will witness one of the largest elephant herds as well as the curiously-fascinating tree-climbing lions.
Click Here To Read More February is the month of birthing or calving for that matter and this is the time where more than 8,000 calves of zebras and wildebeest amongst many others will be born in the rich plains of the Southern Serengeti. When calves are born, it is the perfect opportunity for predators such as lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and the endangered African Wild Dog to demonstrate their hunting might. Lots of blood shall be spilled.
Click Here To Read More The northeastern part of the Serengeti offers a less dangerous migration path during the Great Migration beginning in late June. There will be thousands of wildebeest and zebra herds that will be diverted to the northeast by sheer choice or through confusion and with rich flat grassy plains, a perfect platform for predators to run and run they will, to hunt down the next meal.
