A mega crossing in the Mara heading towards the west into the Mara Triangle

HerdTracker update 22 Sep 2020 by Alex Walker’s Serian

A mega crossing in the Mara heading towards the west into the Mara Triangle!

Following August’s activity, September is a quieter month in terms of travellers and a period that still sees the mega-herd spreading out across the entire northern Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. Herds can be found from central Lobo (the central strip of the northern Serengeti) to the western area of the northern Serengeti (Kogatende and Lamai) right through to the heart of the Maasai Mara.

This is another prime river-crossing month, with Kogatende the place to be if this is your focus. A truly wonderful area, due to the energy and beauty of the Mara river system. September is always slightly quieter than August… never a bad thing!

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Serian The Original, Masai Mara Safaris

Recommended safari: Tarangire Game Viewing and River Crossings in the Serengeti
