By April/May the herds begin to migrate west and north to the grassier plains and woodland of the Serengeti’s western Corridor. The rain during this time of year makes it difficult to follow the herds during this stage of their migration. Many of Tanzania`s smaller camps in fact shut down due to impassable roads. But the Mbalagati Serengeti Lodge and Soroi Luxury Camp still stand up the Rain and Migration
By the end of May the wildebeest and zebra gradually start moving north and individual groups begin to congregate and form much larger herds. This is also the time the wildebeest mate. Western Serengeti is the best place to watch the migration unfold.
By July the herds reach their first big obstacle, the Grumeti River. The Grumeti river can get deep in places, especially if the rains have been good. This is the first of the spectacular river crossings you can witness.
Camps along the river during this time make for an incredible safari experience. The best places to stay include: Grumeti River Camp, Migration Camp and Kirawira Camp. But also small camp like Ikoma Bush Camp, Mapito Tented Camp and Kenzan Mobile Camp still standing to give you a chance to witness this wonderful and spectacular nature event.
