Northern Serengeti – The Great Migration Northern Serengeti River crossing around the Mara River might witness River crossing: July – August!
Here the herds move from the west to the Northern Serengeti into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. And the stakes get higher as the animals attempt to cross the Mara River. Nile crocodiles snap their jaws as the herds trample through the waters, and lions are ready to pounce on the other side.
Above, Marabou storks and vultures stalk the skies, ready to feast on the unlucky few who don’t make it. The game viewing is sensational, frenzied, and unmatched. With so much action, it’s not surprising this is Tanzania’s high season. Book your flights, lodging, and Great Migration safaris early. It fills up fast.
Masai Mara and Northern Serengeti – September to October 2nd week – Northern Serengeti
After the drama of the Mara River crossing, the herds move on to Kenya’s Masai Mara. But that doesn’t mean your Tanzania safari experience is dull over these months. Some of the animals remain in the northern Serengeti on the lookout for fresh grass.
You will find the animals wandering over the plains, re-crossing the river, and running from predators while in search of food. By the first or second week of October, the herds will come back from Kenya and move from the Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti.
