Tanzania safari in the Serengeti National Park
If you are thinking of catching the February wildlife great migration in the Serengeti national park, now is the time to book.40 of our friends from around the world came to the Serengeti with us on our honeymoon. It was the second half of February and we timed it just right.
What a fabulous scene, gnu and zebra’s filled the plains turning the Serengeti into a moving mass, the air full of sounds with lions roaring to each other in the background zebra’s snorting and gnu calling out to each other this was my own personal safari documentary. As the new light dawned you could see all around us animals being born, with no time to stop the mothers only paused to give birth, as the herd moved off the mothers would too even if they were half way through giving birth.
Calves were born and from that moment the mothers are there encouraging them to stretch those awkward lanky legs, stagger to their feet and to move with the herd, as the mother knew staying with the herd will help their survival. With mixed feelings we watched animals being born, nurtured and encouraged to get up and move off with the herd while others were chased and eaten by stronger predators, not able to take our eyes away from the dreadful scene we knew this was the survival of the fitest.
We went deep into the Serengeti where the scenery was spectacular, but the biggest concentration of game we saw was near lake Ndutu. Shimmering Lake Ndutu surrounded by large flat topped acacias providing precious water for the wildlife that the Serengeti is home to.
We stayed two nights at Ndutu Safari Lodge which is quite small (I think we filled it) but was full of old style game lodge charm and is the only lodge where you can sit and watch the migration of the wildebeest as they give birth and feed on the grass. Upon leaving Ndutu Safari Lodge, Lake Ndutu and the Serengeti national park we found it was one of the hardest things we have had to do, our hearts wanted us to stay in Tanzania but we had to return home knowing that we will return to Africa and all of it’s wonderful splendour
