If you are thinking of catching the February wildlife great migration in the Serengeti national park, now is the time to book.Our honeymoon was spent with 40 of our friends in the Serengeti. Half way through February we landed and we couldn’t have timed it any better.
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. In the morning light we watched the mothers around us giving birth, with only a brief moment to give birth some mothers had calves half in and half out as they had to continue with the herd.
Mothers were giving birth to their calves right in front of us and within minutes of the birth the calves were stretching their long legs staggering as quickly as they possibly could to join the herd. Watching with quiet awe we witnessed as predators stalked the weak, the sick, the aged and young (if they were left alone or could be separated from the herd), while yards away mothers were giving birth to their young.
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, a picturesque scenery that is surrounded by massive acacias that provide shade for the migration and the lake with the water sparkling in the sunlight the thirsty animals line the lake and quench their thirst.
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. Soon it was time to turn homeward bound ourselves, it was then that we realised that leaving Ndutu safari lodge, the lake Ndutu and Serengeti was going to be the hardest thing we have done because at some point of our Tanzania safari, Africa had captured our hearts
