herds in the Southern Serengeti during his afternoon game drives

HerdTracker update 04 Apr 2019 by Alex Walker’s Serian

Safari guide Micheal Thomas captured the herds in the Southern Serengeti during his afternoon game drives!

While calving season has ended, the herds of wildebeest are still in the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu Region, sustained by the lush grass on the plains. However, the herds have also started moving northwards, so you can catch them on the move in the Seronera/Central Serengeti region too.

Because of the amount of rainfall that April receives, it’s one of the least popular months to visit the park, which means that you can get discounted rates on lodging and packages. A plus is that the park is very quiet, so you’ll have sightings without any crowds.

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Lake Masek Tented Lodge, Serengeti National Park Safaris

Recommended safari: East Africa Great National Parks
