About this experience
The Serengeti National Park is famous for being the scene of the largest migratory movement of wild animals in the world, it is the famous "Great Migration" of the Serengeti, which has as its protagonists about one and a half million wildebeest and half a million zebras, in constant search of pastures and water.
The period between December and early April sees large herds of wildebeest and migrant zebras concentrated in the low grass plains of the south-central Serengeti for the calving season: 80% of newborns see the light at this very time of year. The savannahs become covered with herbivores as far as the eye can see, their presence attracts numerous predators. It is the best time to explore the region between the Seronera Valley and Lakes Ndutu and Masek.
