The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November & December animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April - June, they begin their return to the north and continue migrating northwards during July & August. Apart from the migrating herds, you will most likely see an amazing array of animals including predators such as Leopards, Cheetahs and Lions. 90% of all African wildlife documentaries are filmed in the Serengeti as it is the most densely animal populated park in the world.

Northern Serengeti National Park - The timing of the migration Mara river crossing phenomena
The great Serengeti Wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti's Wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of Zebra, and smaller numbers of Gazelles. The migrating animals move in an annual pattern, which is fairly predictable, as they are constantly seeking fresh grazing lands and better quality water. The precise timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is entirely dependent on the rainfall patterns each year. The Mara River crossing normally starts in late June to July, which moves towards August and proceeds towards the Ndutu in February. In Tanzania you can find The Great Migration all year round as opposed to Kenya where parts the migration is only there for 2month of the year. On this day you will spend most of your day on the central Serengeti, famously known as the Serenora Area, the magical area for the herds or groups of big cats, lions, cheetahs and leopards here is the place you can spot a group of lions in a number of up to 50 in one family.
