INCREDIBLE YEAR-ROUND BIG CAT VIEWING

The predators will look to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the moving herds. This makes big cat viewing practically a certainty. The Western Corridor and Grumeti region is known for its large resident lion prides. With cheetah across the open plains in the south and ambushing leopards.

Calving Season | Southern Serengeti

Calving Season | Southern Serengeti

The herds are calving in the Southern parts of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Here, it’s estimated over 400,000 calves are born in just a three week period. You're allowed to off-road in this area, providing a wonderful opportunity to follow cheetah across the plains while they hunt.

Herds Begin to Move North

Herds Begin to Move North

Following the rains, the herds splinter towards the central parts of the Serengeti. In certain areas, due to heavy rains and restricted access, a few luxury lodges will close during this time. Therefore, it’s the perfect time to view the mass herds without the crowds! Think resident lion prides and territorial leopard viewing while searching for the migration during this time.

BEST FOR: Lion Prides; Leopard Viewing; Packed Bush Lunches

Grumeti River Crossings | Western Corridor

Grumeti River Crossings | Western Corridor

Mating season is in full swing. Splinter herds begin to congregate and move into the Western Corridor. As they make their way through to the Western Corridor and Grumeti region, the herds prepare for their first challenging obstacle of their journey – crossing the Grumeti River.

BEST FOR: Grumeti River Crossings; Large Lion Prides; Fewer Crowds

Masai Mara River Crossing | Kenya

Masai Mara River Crossing | Kenya

From the Grumeti region, the herds move north into the Masai Mara, crossing the Mara River back and forth to take advantage of the abundant grass on either side. This is quite naturally peak season though, so expect a few more vehicles at the crossing points.
