Exploring more of Serengeti National Park as you glimpse on more wildlife

Every year, around 1.5 million wildebeest; 350,000 Thomson’s gazelles; 200,000 zebras; and thousands of eland
and other ungulates (hoofed animals) participate in ‘the greatest wildlife show on Earth’, The Great Wildebeest
Migration throughout the Ngorongoro, Famous Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem, when the grassy plains of
the southernmost Serengeti begin to dry
From December to March the Wildebeest migration congregates around the Ndutu area (the area is shared in
both Ngorongoro – Serengeti), in the far south of the Serengeti. April to May, the Wildebeest migration moves
north into the plains of the central Serengeti. Between June and July, the Wildebeest migration splits in two; one
group goes West into the Western Corridor before crossing the Grumeti River, the other heads directly to the North
of the Serengeti.

Serengeti National Park Experiencing more wilderbeest migrating

Serengeti National Park Experiencing more wilderbeest migrating

August to October the herd has reformed, and meanders on the Kenya and Tanzania border,
along the banks of the mighty Mara River. Returning south from the beginning of November. Unpredictable Nature
the path of the Wildebeest migration is dependent on rain and that is what determines late or early crossing
between Serengeti and Masai Mara. however, the dry & crossing seasons may change every year due to global
warming. It is unclear how the wildebeest know which way to go, but it is generally believed that their journey is dictated
primarily by their response to the weather; they follow the rain and the growth of new grass. While there is no
scientific proof of it, some experts believe that the animals react to lightning and thunder in the distance. It
has even been suggested that wildebeest can locate rain more than 50km away the endless plains of East Africa
bear witness to the great annual migration of over a million wildebeest and zebras as they make their way between
Kenya and TZ.

Ngorongoro Crater a home of larger lions and black rhinos| Overnight Karatu

Ngorongoro Crater a home of larger lions and black rhinos| Overnight Karatu

After an early breakfast, pack your bags and depart with your driver to Ngorongoro Crater, an early start to the day
is best in order to avoid the later influx of tourists into the Ngorongoro Crater. The park gate opens at 0600, so it is
best to be there as close to this time as possible. There are a number of lions which are typically larger in size than
an average lion due the large amount of game in the area. The crater floor tends to get very busy, with there often
being numerous vehicles at any wildlife sighting.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a large, unbroken, un-flooded caldera, formed when a giant volcano erupted and
collapsed some three million years ago. Had it not become a caldera, it is possible that the volcanic mountain
would be about the same height as Kilimanjaro. The caldera is 600m deep, 16km and 265 km in area.
Enjoy the spectacular scenery and game viewing, in what has been described as the eighth wonder of the world.
Lunch and dinner at Eileen's Trees Inn.
