The Serengeti is the primary location for one of earth\u2019s most spectacular natural events: the\u00a0Great Wildebeest Migration<\/a>. This is a colossal movement of over two million animals which involve wildebeests and Zebras as far-reaching members \u2013 across the landscape in an endless pursuit of green pastures and water. To see such a massing of animals is a fascinating sight.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The wonderful thing is that the Great Migration is not a singular, annual event. In fact, it\u2019s never-ending, and follows a loose, circular path around the park. So regardless of when you visit Tanzania, you have the possibility of catching it unless the time when it gets in Mara game reserve in Kenya around October.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

RIVER CROSSINGS<\/strong><\/p>

Definitely one of the most unique and popular times to be in the Serengeti is during the famous Wildebeests and Zebra River crossings. This is where single files of wildebeest fearless the crocodile-infested waters to press on northwards towards the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya while hoping for green pastures and water. This extraordinary action will leave you astonished and give you unforgettable memory in your life.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

EARLY BOOKING TO SEE RIVER CROSSINGS<\/strong><\/p>

These river crossings typically occur around June to September each year. But camps in good proximity to the river crossings tend to book up quickly. The river crossings\u00a0also<\/em>\u00a0coincide with the peak dry season, so we highly recommend booking at least several months in advance to give your operator the best chance of securing first choice accommodation. This is especially true for large groups.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

THE CALVING\/DROPPING SEASON<\/strong><\/p>

Another notable event in the calendar occurs around late January, February and March in the southern portion of Serengeti National Park. This is the calving season, which sees the miracle of new life collide with an ominous massing of opportunistic predators. Thousands of new wildebeests and other animals are calved every day, the hyenas turn to middy wife pulling out baby wildebeest whenever possible, lions and other predators lurk around waiting for an easy kill. It\u2019s quite the drama!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
