If you are thinking of catching the February wildlife great migration in the Serengeti national park, now is the time to book.We spent our honeymoon in the Serengeti with 40 friends from around the world. It was the second half of February and we timed it just right.
What a fabulous scene, gnu and zebra’s filled the plains turning the Serengeti into a moving mass, the air full of sounds with lions roaring to each other in the background zebra’s snorting and gnu calling out to each other this was my own personal safari documentary. As the new light dawned you could see all around us animals being born, with no time to stop the mothers only paused to give birth, as the herd moved off the mothers would too even if they were half way through giving birth.
In an amazing sequence we watched as calves were born then encouraged to stand and stagger with the herd. To our amazement the huge volumes of animals would seem to take over and swallow the whole of the Serengeti but then predators stepped in catching the stranded, weak, sick and aged that perhaps would not make the trip anyway.
We went deep into the Serengeti where the scenery was spectacular, but the biggest concentration of game we saw was near lake Ndutu. Lake Ndutu is a beautiful setting that is surrounded by giant, flat-topped acacias, the Lake Ndutu shimmering in the sunlight providing precious water to the wild life as it migrates through the Serengeti.
We stayed two nights at Ndutu Safari Lodge which is quite small (I think we filled it) but was full of old style game lodge charm and is the only lodge where you can sit and watch the migration of the wildebeest as they give birth and feed on the grass. To leave Serengeti and Tanzania will be the hardest thing we will have to do this trip, Lake Ndutu is a wonderful place that made our Tanzania safari the most magical adventure of our life time, it is fair to say that Africa has a place in our hearts and we will return
