Serengeti is the place to see big cats. This park is world famous for its high population of lions, but you can also spot many cheetahs and leopards. Another reason why many people visit this unique ecosystem is the Big Migration. Every year more than a million wildebeest, zebras and Thomson-gazelles migrate following the rain. The migration is like the weather, unpredictable. To increase the chance of spotting the migration you can follow these rules:

January till May, most likely the migration will be in southern Serengeti and Ndutu. June till August, the migration moves to western Serengeti. September and October, the migration will be between western and northern Serengeti in Ikoma area. November, the migration will be up north close to the Maasai Mara. December, the migration will make a huge run down south again.

With thousands of hunters and preys living together, you can imagine that a lot of kills happen daily. By starting your safari early when the big cats are most active, you will increase the chance of spotting a kill. These kills attract vultures and other birds who feed on carcasses of dead animals. These feasts are a pleasure for the eye. Have a look at our movies for a preview.
