Safari During the Months of Mid July to October
Private Safari – Group to Join
Serengeti North
During this time of the year the Great Migration is in Kenya (Maasai Mara) but there is constant crossing of the Mara River to and fro
This happens with the rains
It all depends what part is raining
The Wildebeests follow the rain pattern.
So if it has rained in the Serengeti and the great herds are in Masai Mara , they will cross the Mara River and move to Serengeti for better pasture
This happened when it rains in Masai Mara they will follow the rains in Kenya and cross the Mara river again.
The weather pattern has to be on your side.
Sometimes you will have to wait over 4 hours to see a River crossing
