Your game drives will focus on areas where wildlife activity is highest, especially following the movement of large herds across the plains. These herds attract predators, creating exciting opportunities to witness natural interactions in the wild.
The movement of animals across the Serengeti follows seasonal rainfall patterns. During the short rainy season in November and December, herds typically move from the northern regions to the southern plains.
