The best Tanzania safari for July and August!
See the great migration: Mara river crossings in the Iconic Serengeti
Best of Serengeti safari tours – The mara river crossings take place in the Serengeti and are probably the most sought-after wildlife experience on Earth. The crossings are a true image of the Serengeti National Park and a best African safari. Happily, they coincide with the July-August summer holiday period.
The crossings begin in mid-July, as the scattered herd start to emerge in single file at Kogatende area, Northern Serengeti. Up to this point, the herd has been fragmented into splinter groups as it pressed its way north from the southern short grass plains. Here, the numbers convene again and the wildebeest face one of the most physically challenging hurdles in the migration cycle. The river itself has steep vertical drops on both sides, and as the herds converge, the wildebeest must navigate each other, the land predators trailing them, and the crocs lying in wait in the water. The total number of wildebeest, the dramatic leaps they make, and the swift kills carried out by crocodiles combine to make an awe-inspiring sight. The images are world famous.
On Tanzania safari during this season, visitors will spend their days driving along the Mara river, hoping to capture sight of at least one of these crossings. As well as the crossings, the river itself is teeming with wildlife. Common sightings in this region include lions, leopards, hyena, buffalo, African elephants and antelopes.
