We highly recommend April as one of the most consistent times to see the herds. This is when they slowly get going as the newborn calves and foals get mobile.

The wildebeest and zebra herds are in the Central Serengeti region

The wildebeest and zebra herds are in the Central Serengeti region! Chances of seeing predators are high, especially when the herds are dropping their young between February and March. Lions and cheetah are common, and leopards are often seen in the valley where the lack of trees makes it relatively easy to spot them. Some of the best locations in the Central Serengeti to see the herds include the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, Moru Kopjes, Simba Kopje and Maasai Kopjes.

At HerdTracker, we feel that one of the best ways to experience the Serengeti is via the simplistic extravagance of a colonial-style tented safari camp, which moves around the Serengeti according to the season. You’ll enjoy all the trappings of a luxury safari lodge but in an exclusive, pristine wilderness setting – ideal to soak up all the thrills of the wildebeest migration.

Seronera area in the Central Serengeti is your best bet

If you’re after Big Cats, the Seronera area in the Central Serengeti is your best bet: this region is hailed as the best place to see predators – particularly lion, leopard and cheetah – on thrilling hunts.

The Central Serengeti is studded with many rocky granite outcrops, known as kopjes, which are where you should look out for lions and cheetahs. There are also some particular kopjes highlights, such as the Simba Kopjes, or Simba Rocks – the place that inspired Pride Rock in the Disney film The Lion King.

With all of this diversity on offer, the most difficult part of your Tanzanian holiday experience is likely to be deciding where to go!
